Diamonds
Diamond is the ultimate gemstone, having few weaknesses and many strengths.
First, a diamond possesses unique powers of light reflection. When properly cut, it gathers light within itself, reflecting it back in a shower of fire and brilliance.
Second, it is the only gem mineral composed of a single, unadulterated element, making it the purest of earth's gemstones.
Thirdly, it is the hardest transparent substance known to man. Steel, for example, of which most machine tools are made, cannot cut diamond. The only material that can cut diamond is ...another diamond! The industry uses, therefore, for that purpose, "industrial grade", usually black-color diamonds.

Diamonds may be nearly any color in the rainbow plus browns, grays, and white. Diamonds are found in a type of rock called "Kimberlite", which comprises the core of certain volcanoes over especially thick portions of the earth's crust. Diamond issomething superb, the peerless "king of gems" that glitters, dazzles, and symbolizes purity and strength.

Roughly 49% of diamonds originate from central and southern Africa, although significant sources of the mineral have been discovered in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, and Australia. They are mined from kimberlite and lamproite volcanic pipes, which brought to the surface the diamond crystals from deep in the Earth where the high pressure and temperature enables the formation of the crystals. Sorry, but the whole "diamonds aren't rare" spiel is a myth. In fact, quality diamonds are indeed very rare. Sure it might be relatively easy to dig up small/fractured/discolored/impure diamonds, but high quality stones are MUCH more rare. However, high quality, internally flawless 3 carat diamonds that sell for 25 or 30 thousand are exponentially more rare. A diamond islikely the oldest thing you will ever own, probably 3 billion years in age, fully two thirds the age of the Earth. The exponential growth of diamonds is expected to continue for a long period. Though diamond is the most attraction among women, but men love to wear the diamond ring and other diamond stuff in different occasion.

The better proportioned these facets are on the diamond, the more light will be reflected back to the viewer's eye. When cut properly, the diamond will sparkle more. The most important step in choosing a diamond is reviewing the diamond certificate, referred to by diamond grading labs as a grading report.
