Also, if I remember my materials science right, you'd have larger and larger diamond chunks as you moved outward from the impact site and the cracks spread out. You'd have gradient of sorts from powder to boulders.

It also mentions that the surface is also made of graphite, that's a mighty lot of pencils!  :nod:

Meh there's not enough people here to use up a planet of diamonds.

Does pose some interesting ideas for industry though.

If we had evolved on a diamond planet, would we be eying earth with desire for its granite rock and sand?  ;)

Oh sure it would be nice to have near unlimited granite, but an entire planet of it? It's way too soft! How the hell could we even set up mining equipment there?
