It can cost up to $40,000 to repair it. British Antarctica: Survey.

7 Cool Facts About Diamond Dusts!!! Cool Facts About Diamond Dusts!!!  The longest Diamond Dust lasted 316 days.  It can be 60-1000 m in thickness  They make halos once they are done.  The water vapor gets so cold that it turns into ice crystals. When the ice crystals are floating around the sun shines through looking like diamonds. Wikipedia.
