Wow. I really wish I’d been around for this.
Diamonds and precious metals found in the eastern United States might have rained down during the last Ice Age after a comet shattered over Canada and set North America ablaze, all leading to a mass die-off of animals and humans.
I always miss the cool stuff.
Here’s something to cheer you up. You are a carbon based lifeform, meaning that when you die you can be incinerated at an extreme heat until you are synthesized into what carbon turns into when it heats into a crystalline form: A 14 carat Diamond.

YES, you can turn yourself or part of yourself into a manmade diamond. I thought it was a pretty cool idea until I noticed the real diamond price similarities. I think I’ll take a naturally made one for the same money.
