Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

How the hell do you get iron rain. Is there iron perspiration and iron clouds? Wiki says nothing. Super interesting though, I wonder how it would work.
Iron melts. You didn't question the diamonds?!?
Diamond scarcity is propaganda controlled by zales to monopolize the diamond market and up charge more than they're actually worth. They're everywhere, it literally rains diamonds on Neptune. Nothing to see here.
Natural diamonds are moderately rare, although not as rare as the companies like to suggest. Especially if you want high quality natural diamonds that actually look good.
Apparently mining companies are a bit disinterested in diamonds really. They are quite an ordeal to deal with and to effectively mine. They tend to be bound up in a lot of random junk material, mostly low-grade iron and rock, that you don't actually want, and don't really have much use for, and the signal to noise ratio can be quite high.
Although a lot less interesting it's probably more profitable for a mining company to simply come across a large stockpile of copper, then a possible diamond source. Unless it is unusually pure and high quality.
Ah, so the diamond rain on Neptune is artificial!
The source for that seems to be this. This is what it says:
