"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

What is the most valuable object in the world, weight for weight? A deep purple diamond found in the Amazon basin. The only one known to exist, it is between 2 and 5 carats and is estimated to be worth 12 million Pounds, although others have refused to put a price on it.

There is some mystery about the diamond - its exact size, ownership and precise origins are unknown, although it is reported to have been cut in the Amazon region about 25 years ago.
