這故事本身的邏輯就有問題 :

1 .普通菜市場裡的人對寶石礦物沒研究 , 只出價十元是正常的 .
2. 貴金屬礦物的開採可是一項專門的學問 , 把石頭拿去黃金市場賣 ...... 那些用十萬元幫公司買石頭的貴金屬礦物營業員能撐多久不被開除 ?
3. 寶石礦物的開採更是一項專門的學問 , 把石頭拿去寶石市場賣 ...... 那些用百萬元幫公司買石頭的寶石營業員能撐多久不被開除 ?

推論 : 聲動財經網的撰文者應該沒受過專業訓練 , 更沒把自己應該具備的專業當一回事 . 有種東西叫 UV (Ultraviolet), 照射礦物之後不同的礦物會發出不同的螢光 . 還有一種東西叫 AA (atomic absorption) 把幾個毫克的石頭溶解在硝酸裡 , 打一針(或幾針)下去就知道石頭裡有哪些金屬 . 還有東西叫做 X-ray , 照一下就知道石頭裡面有沒有埋著和氏璧 .還有個科系叫做地質系 , 人家的訓練就是上山下海看石頭 , 這石頭究竟是啥礦物必須能快速判斷 .

結論 : 聲動財經網的專業程度大概停留在 <用直銷的方式賣一個錯誤的信念>. 看看別人想想自己 . 沒有訓練不重視專業 , 就和用古代的人海衝鋒對現代的火海戰術是一樣的無知 .

But Fipke and Blusson eventually got involved and didn't give up, did they?

Originally, Chuck Fipke wasn't even a diamond prospector, he was looking for copper and other minerals. He picked it up as he went along. But eventually he and Blusson made a key realization: That a lot of the indicator minerals that people were finding had come from somewhere else. They had been moved by the ice sheets a long time before.

I think the eureka moment was experienced by Blusson. Way up in northern Canada, near the edge of the tundra, he was walking across a stream near a place called Blackwater Lake, when he saw these pinkish boulders, and knew they had been carried in from the east. That's how they got on the trail, but it took them years to raise the money for the search. Then they began flying all over the tundra, picking up and testing samples, looking for indicator minerals. They made their discovery kind of by chance -- they just saw a good place to land a float plane from the air. But it had diamonds. Ironically, however, it appears it is not really the source of the indicator minerals they had found to the west. So there could be other diamond mines still out there, somewhere.

Chuck was divorced by his wife Marlene, who had been with him since he began searching for the diamonds. This divorce at the time was Canada's largest divorce settlement with her portion of the assets estimated to be approximately C$123.1 million.
