World's first nuclear test creates strange material.
Extreme events tend to produce unexpected effects. It's good that is not a diamond, otherwise we would have a few 'accidental' nuclear explosions in following years :-)
Nobel Prize winner Dan Shechtman discussed the potential uses for Quasicrystals in MIT Technology Review
In that sense, you are right, human greed to get that rare diamond would cause our planet to suffer a lot of damage from the radiation that nuclear bombs emit.
I'll take a look at the review you sent me thanks.
