I wear the face of a leader of men. My financial worth is small and my appearance not impressive, yet my presence is a passport to any country and society. I have the entree alike to the boudoir and the armed; I penetrate to royal palaces and to the far corners of the earth. In my youth I am bright and fresh looking; later, my face is marred and disfigured and I am cast aside as nothing; but when I am very old I am eagerly sought, and a safe refuge is provided for me, where I am exhibited to admiring visitors.
What am I?

i think it is carbon- diamond. when carbon is burnt it is bright and then turn to ashes and thus marred and cast aside. when carbon is very old it becomes diamond and you know all about diamond it is welcomed every where and safe guarded.
