Merle,

To the best of my knowledge, Buttermilk is skim milk (Milk with fat removed for 
making of Butter, milkfat-solids, etc.), inoculated with a very particular 
strain of bacterium, a lactobacillus, I think, which feasts on the lactose milk 
sugar and produces a sour acid by-product.

Diamond makes a wonderful heat-sink, because it has the highest thermal 
conductivity of any material, including Silver.  Thus, Diamonds are known -- in 
the argot of the underworld -- as "Ice".  They seem very cold to the touch.  
"Glass" or "paste" jewels do not: you can tell the difference between diamonds 
and fakes with your eyes closed (if the stone is big enough to hold in your 
hand, and is, say, un-mounted).

Most crystals have a very high thermal conductivity, but Diamond is highest.
