I don't know anyone on this planet who can resist the lure of diamond, least of all a woman. All you need to do is let her see a jewel glittering with the stone from heaven and she is as good as yours. Ladies, no offense; even guys get caught in that web too.
Diamond forms from the element called carbon, the most abundant in the element in the earth. It is also used in making some of the best and most expensive jewelry you ever saw. It costs a lot, but most people don't mind the cost if only they can have the thing on their bodies for just a few glorious moments. I won't say I blame them because of the beauty of diamonds jewelry on people, especially beautiful ladies.
With a substance as beautiful as the diamond, certainly there have been countless attempts to reproduce it. All have failed, the closest being graphite, a substance that should not even be allowed in the same room as diamond. Evidence shows that sometimes diamonds form as deep as 670 km into the Earth. You can't reproduce that. You can only hope to pay for it.
The temperature required to form diamond ranges anywhere from 1000 to 1200C. The amount of pressure you need is also formidable. No wonder the stones are so flawless when they come. No wonder people even kill themselves to own a single stone.
The best things in life are free, some say. And in a sense they are, until one man gets to it and puts a price upon it. Diamonds are free for whoever finds them first, and then they cost a fortune, prize for the highest bidder.
Conditions that are ideal for diamond formation cannot be reenacted by humans. Much as they have tried, they have always failed. And so the diamond retains its uniqueness in brilliance and beauty. Little wonder it is so expensive as a jewel.
Silver can be melted down, gold can be diluted, but diamond diamond is forever. No matter how much you have to pay to have it, you know it is worth every penny and it will never blemish. Twenty - no, a hundred years to come, the diamond will retain its brilliance.
The stones that made the mountains were not always solid. At one time, they were molten, known as magma, made so by the extreme pressures and heat in the earth's heart; the same pressures and heat that formed diamonds over eons of processing. So when the magma came up, so did the diamonds with it. Today, we mine them and wear them, and we bask in the glory of the diamond jewelry.
The properties of diamond vary from stone to stone, and even within each individual stone. Take brilliance, for instance. The more light is returned to your eyes by the stone, the higher its brilliance. And the higher the brilliance of a stone, the higher, naturally, its price in the jewel market.
Wind and glaciers can transport diamonds from where they originate on the surface of the earth to distances extremely far away. Some miners and diamond hunters don't mind how far they have to go to get the gem, though. A single stone, sold in the jewel market, could be the end to all their life's financial problems. - 16083
