Diamonds not just a pretty face
They happen called the girl's best friend and a symbol of undying love
They have been a sign of standus and wealfare centuries
What are they diamonds
Of course
But diamonds are not just a pretty face
They are a valuable commodity
Diamonds are a form of carbon
But unlike other forms of carbon
Such as graphed the substance
Ins as as penciled diamonds are created in very unusual conditions
Scientists estimate that diamonds are formed over millennia
One hundred
Fifty
Two six hundred
Seventy kilometers beneath the earth surface
Where the extremely high pressure in temperatures needed to cryalalize carbon into diamond exist
Thus they are extremely old at minimum millions of years old
With some as much as three billion years old
Meyrights can also create diamonds
When they slamp into the earth surface
Producing in the impact
The necessary temperatures of one thousand to twelve hundred dedegrees
Sucias and extremely high pressure another type of diamond black or grey oppix stones called carbon addos was created in space
And carried to earth by media rights
Diamonds are brought from the depths of the year to the surface in many ways
Sometimes magma carries them upward from deep
Within the earth crorust in certain areas
Magma flowing to the surface has formed tunnels or pipes
That include a high concentration of diamonds
These are commonly called kimberlight pipes
After the first one discovered in kimberle's south africa
Most diamonds are mind from kimberlight pipes and south africa
Russia
Australia
Botzwa aa
Anzii air
Other methods have been created to anzyds ds washed into water ways through sosion or landlights
Diamond mining unfortunately brings with a many environmental concerns for instance the chemical leftovers of the mining process are off fand dumped into rivers and streams
Polluting the water
Another concern within the diamoninindustinvovolves conflict diamonds also known as blood diamonds
These are diamonds mind and sold to finance wars and violent revolutions
Blood diamonds are also linked to child slavery and child's soldiers
To make it more difficult to finance war through diamond sales
The diamond industry has organized a certification system to establish that our diamond has not come from a conflict region
The system has been largely effective
Because to beers as south african company controls more than half the worldwide supply and sales of diamonds and authorizes only a limited number buyers to acquire of diamonds
Diamonds continue to be popular
Because of their extraordinary physical properties with the rating of ten on the most hardness scale
Which measures the relative hardness of minerals
Diamonds are the hardest
No naturally occurring substance
Thus a diamond can only be scratched by another diamond
Diamonds also raied highly in brilliance
Which refers to how much light a jmpstone reflects another property for which diamonds are noted is fire
Which refers to the way light disperses into the full spectrum of colors
When it passes through a jumstone
White light e passing into a diamond is separated into all the colors
The rainbow
Because of these flashes of colcolor diamds are
Are set have a very high deggree fire the greater
The brilliance and fire of a particular diamond
The greater is value
Most people are familiar with clear diamonds
As these are most popular diamonds have many levels of transparency
However and come in a wide range of colors
Including green
Blue Red
Orange
Yellow and brown
The rare color diamonds are known as fancies
And are more expensive than white diamonds
Only the highest quality diamonds are selected for jury diamonds are judged
According to the forces color clarity carried and cut color refers to the huw of the diamond
Colorless diamonds are sought after due to their image of purity and sophhisticavances that exhibited pure color are highly esteemed and very valuable
On the other hand diamonds with tinges of yellow are usually not used as gyms at all clarity indicates
Whether there are internal blemishes or flaws in the stone veins or other visible in perfections will drive down the value with a diamond carrot refers to a diamond mass one carrit equals two hundred millograms obviously the bigger
The diamond
The higher
Its priprice tag kite has to do with how the diamond is facted to show off its fire and brillions
The cut of a diamond can either enhance its natural beauty
Or if poorly done smother at taking a rough or uncut diamond and transforming it into a jhnstone is a painstaking process
A rough diamond can be hard to distinguish from other stones
Only after the process of cleleaving cutting and polishing is a diamond transformed into a daszling jam
Before a diamond cutter can begin
He or she will carefully examine this stone to see how it can best be cut to maximize its beautian value
It is easier and less wasteful ful to split the diamond along plins
That are naturally weaker
So diamond cuters first divde thers don't along those lines
Then following a carefully device plan
The cutter will make facets
Often about half the diamond is cut away
During this process
The most popular design
The brilliant cut usually has fifty eight facets and allows the stones to reflect the maximum amount of light
While the diamonds most people are familiar with are in the form of james
Not all diamonds are processed into jury in fact
Eighty percent of diamonds are used in industrial processes
Diamonds with flaws and color or shape or without the brilliance and fire
Necessary to capture the iron cell as jamstones are employed in a variety of manufacturing sectors
Sumare used as a single crystal
While others are ground into a fine powder and applied to saw plates and the tips of drills
Because diamonds are so hard
They can cut scratch
Scrape and drills through all other surfaces
Diamonds are used not only in mining
But also in the oil and gas
Industries
Electronics and even dendustry in ineeffort kekeep up with the demand didiamds synthetic diamonds happen develop the majority of these synthetic diamonds are suitable only for industrial purposes
Only ten percent of industrial great diamonds are natural diamonds
The other ninety percent are synthetic
Some artificial diamonds are also used for jury
Diamonds are known all over the world as pressure stones that symbolized love and romans
But diamonds also have strengbeneath their beauty
The diamond is much more than just another pretty face
