Inevitably, such growth in an area dealing in such a precious commodity is accompanied by friction and occasional sparks of violence. Earlier this month, Martin Paretsky, 71, left the street with $500,000 in diamonds, heading for a meeting at the nearby Hilton Hotel. No trace of him has been found.
