Salt Lake City, UT – Journalist Tom Zoellner knows all too well the emotional meaning diamonds can carry with them. When his fiancee returned the only diamond he had ever bought, Zoellner visited 6 continents and 14 nations in search of answers. The result is The Heartless Stone, an investigation of the diamond industry from mine to finger. Zoellner will be in Salt Lake tomorrow, and today he joins Doug to talk about the machine that used a pretty hunk of carbon to change cultures and societies around the world.

Tom Zoellner be at Sam Wellers Zion Bookstore (254 S Main St in Salt Lake City) on Friday, June 16th at 6:30 p.m. For more information, call the store at 801-328-2586 or visit them on-line
