He crushed them one-by-one, mixed them all together as he said: “Let's combine the beauty of all the stones together, to make a new stone - pure and invincible ". And so the diamond was born, - pure, as a dew, a stone of indestructible hardness, which contained all colors hidden in the sun rays. “It is the greatest stone of this Word, - said god - but for my queen I’ll create the greatest stone of the sea!” – and so he has created pearls.
