Room 15 had a very special guest when gemologist, Mr Mohammed Ali came to visit us with his red metal box filled with precious gems. Inside this box were sapphires of every colour, emeralds, rubies, opals, amethyst and diamonds. We touched everything! Including a 10 carat black diamond. New research suggests that black diamonds may come from diamond encrusted asteroid impact sites in the Central African Repulic and Brasil, so have you ever touched a piece of space? We have.
