Sorry Neil, this post isn't quite about you, though I do enjoy "I am, I said" occasionally. But what you are not is a diamond, you know the one Shirley Bassey sings about. Today, with the advance technology you may soon want to hear what your diamond stone sounds like. Yes, you heard me. It is now possible to translate light wave patterns into sound waves, and each diamond has a unique pattern that creates a unique sound. World renowned diamond cutter Gabi Tolkowsky* pioneered this new innovation called "diamond melody". At a conference, he once demonstrated it by playing a CD of abstract sounds that filled the room with random, yet beautiful melody, he played a couple of tracks of this other-worldly new age sound and then announced the composers: two diamonds!
One day you may go to your local jeweler and select a diamond not only for its visual properties but also for its unique sound, now how cool is that!
* Cousin of Marcel Tolkowsky who developped the "ideal cut".
