The Diamond †Wonder of Nature by Archibald Rockwealth

Just about everyone, everywhere agrees that diamonds are a treasure of nature, and are a dazzling gift to humanity. Not only are diamonds visually appealing, they are the hardest substance known to man and this includes both natural and man-made materials.

The black, blue, and white diamonds are more than sparkling trinkets that grace men's and women's jewelry. Actually, diamonds are used in industrial and technological settings. Both the manufacturing and construction sectors use diamond tipped cutting blades in various tools. Diamonds are also used in watches and computer clocks to help assure precision movement. Even computer manufacturers are attempting to use diamonds in their circuitry.

One thing that draws the most attention to these beautiful gems is the way that the light passes through them. They sparkle from within, and flash in a variety of colors. Wealth, abundance, strength, and power are some of the attributes that the diamond seems to express.

All diamonds are a form of the chemical element carbon, which is found in many other natural common items. Although diamonds are the most durable type of carbon, they are related to talc, the softest form of carbon. Gypsum, graphite, and fluorite are also members of the carbon family.

The difference between diamonds and other forms of carbon is the formation of atoms and how they are arranged in varying forms of carbon. It is the intense pressure and heat that forms the diamonds and gives them their durability.

To date, the largest diamond ever found is the Cullinan Diamond, which was mined in South Africa in 1905. The diamond's weight when taken from the Earth was 621 grams, or 3106 carats, or more than 13 pounds! It was cut into nine different stones, one of which is the Star of Africa that weighs 550 carats. The Star of Africa resides in the center of the British Royal Scepter, and is ensconced in the Tower of London as part of the Royal British Crown Jewel Collection.

It's surprising to discover that almost eighty percent of the diamonds mined from the Earth are of substandard quality and cannot be used in jewelry. Diamonds that are used for diamond rings and other diamond jewelry have been cut, faceted, and undergone inspections along the way.
