Default Re: OT: diamonds are forever :)

I saw that story before, and what I don't get is how they know it's all diamond. I thought, thermodynamically, the most stable crystaline form of carbon was graphite. So what shape is this core in, a round sphere of bort, a mass of black graphite with diamond in it, or what?
