Wood may be far rarer than diamonds across the known universe.🌳💎
Diamonds can form through high pressure and heat, and researchers have found them in meteorites and produced them under conditions similar to those inside icy planets. Wood is different: it is made by living trees. Since Earth remains the only world known to host life, trees and wood have not been confirmed anywhere else.
