With live mining concluding in 2018, leaving only a decade for further recovery, what is on display on this table is the perfect flowering both of a rare commodity and a market opportunity—like a Chateau Petrus entering its five-year period of perfect drinking, or buying a Monet when he was in his 20s.
You see the other half of this supply/demand miracle most clearly in the depth of color in the 2007 tender. All but 15 of the 45 stones are deep or vivid—and a few of the larger fancy intense pinks may soon be recut to ratchet the grade up. The ratio would be 35:45 were it not for the red profusion. "No red diamond," as Zion reminds me, "has ever gotten better than a fancy grade."
Lot 28, an AGT certed 0.77 carat fancy red I1 hexagon, is the stone that, for me, best sums up the supply half of the 2007 tender. GIA, which also graded the stone, called it a fancy deep pink. While I certainly see that depth, the pinkness escapes me. It's one of those love at first sight stones, its color, shape, and intensity combining for rarity beyond rarity, and I feel almost resentful at the downgrade. Pearce, while leaning toward the AGT grade, explains the complexity of calling color on such rarity—a unique lesson on how a fancy color's graining, banding, and balance of saturation and hue play into the method by which a grader, banking on his personal experience and his lab's inventory of similar stones, comes to define the ineffable in a few generic words.
1990: Oregon Desert Sri Yantra (Fig. 3-6)
http://goldenmean.info/rain/
In the summer of 1990, a group of friends, one of my sons and I went to a remote alkali lake bed in the high desert of southeast Oregon to inscribe a large Sri Yantra in the earth. It was to contain a central point large enough to live in. The site was chosen because of its beauty and remoteness. Almost no one, except a few ranchers, ever went there. Inscribing lines in the alkali surface would not disturb any vegetation and it would be a transitory event, eventually disappearing back into the surface through the natural action of wind and the occasional water that floods the lake bed every few years.
Water follows magnetism - because the water itself is highly paramagnetic. This means simply that most water contains enough trace elements to be highly piezoelectric - which is responsive to electrical fields. (Piezoelectricity refers to the ability to couple or lock together simple waves of mechanical pressure ('stricture' / or compression) - often 'sonic or phonon' - with an electrical voltage and the current that induces. Piezoelectricity in slinkly type structures like quartz and DNA are natures way of connecting SHORT WAVES WITH LONG WAVES).
It is important to begin to get the idea - that to steer water around intelligently in bioregions - you must understand how to steer electro-magnetic fields around with symmetry. This is because the two are directly coupled in their flow.
Essentially put - water IS the magnetic blood of Earth. And like the blood in your body, both the magnetism and the water in the Earth have to find symmetry or they die. Symmetry is required because it is the only way inertia can be distributed without destuctive interference. Without symmetry (pretty rose like unpacking patterns) the inertia in the flowing water and magnetism would be canceled out or die.
So both water and magnetism follow symmetry to avoid the death of destructive interference. Eventually you will get the idea that water molecules are not stupid- they will not fall into gardens or farms - where there is not enough magnetic symmetry - because they know that would kill them.
