I dream of a Pink Ivroy fretboard with Black Mother of Pearl ovals on a Buckeye Burl JB shaped six with a Purple Heart & Ebony neck (six string with cone shape head)

I read somewhere that Pink Ivory is rarer than diamonds. Anyone know where this saying comes from or if there is any truth to it?
 
I know in weight diamonds of course cost more. I was just wondering about the rareness comparison.

I read the wiki link on Pink Ivory before, I was just wondering about the comparison to diamonds. I read it somewhere I just cant remember where and was wondering if anyone else knew anything about that saying.
