I'm rich!

This is a photograph of a very small percentage of my diamond collection.  I would conservatively estimate that this constitutes less than 0.1% of my collection. 
Look at the following two diamonds to see the cubic symmetry (they are well-formed octahedrons!)
Before you decide to burglarize my house, note that these guys are not very large--they are the abrasive on a diamond whetstone, and each of the diamonds is probably about 20 microns.  It is interesting that even industrial diamonds look (somewhat) pretty.
