   Summary

   Max thinks that diamonds no longer fit, and entertains himself with learning geology to find the perfect red stone that matches his childhood rival.
   Eventually he learns the rich history of blood diamonds, sparkling white but torn from the earth at the cost of human life.
   By that point, he no longer wants to know.
