This is a potentially fascinating discovery http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26553115

"I think it's stunning! It implies that the interior may store several times the amount of water in the oceans. It tells us that hydrogen is an essential ingredient in the Earth and not added late from comets.
The Brazilian diamond was sculpted by corrosive fluids on its way up to the surface

"This discovery implies that hydrogen may control the interior processes of the Earth just as it controls the surface processes, and that water planets, like Earth, may be common in our galaxy."
