Diamond Palace Survive?

The November National Geographic has spectacular picts of a gypsum cave found in a Mexico lead/silver mine:

Crystalcave615

If such a cave were found like this but made of diamonds, would it be revealed or secretly destroyed?  Tourist revenue from a preserved cave would be tiny relative to the revenue from carving it into diamonds for sale.
