    The ultimate gem?

    10 strands of Beethoven's hair have had carbon extracted to produce a Diamond. At around £500,000 it is available on Ebay of all places - happy bidding!

          Maybe by accident. Let us know.

            The diamond has been removed from ebay - I wonder about the provenance of this in any case!

              The auction seems to have restarted - although I may be using an out- of -date link.

                Maybe it fell down the gap between two keys. A and G. If they sent a small boy down to retrieve it, would he be A flat minor?

                        I have to say, this is quite a funny joke. And Joy's and Sorrano's. Wish I had thought of these first!

                          Not doing so well, is it? Anyway, compared to the legacy of his music it's neither hair nor there...........

                              But then, again, you know how it is, hair today gone tomorrow.
