Seas of Liquid Diamond? Could be Possible on Neptune and Uranus

Now that sounds like a cool sight. I just got a "vision from the future" of massive diamond trawlers scooping up liquid diamond from the surface of Neptune. You can picture the thing firing off specialized diamond- filled rocket pods to a waiting De Beers orbiting collection station. The cost of harvesting and returning the diamond pods back to earth still makes them a very valuable commodity.

Oceans of liquid diamond, filled with solid diamond icebergs, could be floating on Neptune and Uranus, according to a recent article in the journal Nature Physics.

This also reminds me of Diamond Valley from Magic the Gathering:
