About Diamonds
Before diamonds are available to us, they are known as roughs. Formatted for hundreds of years underneath earth's surface, they are than brought out into the surface through volcanic eruptions. Diamond is a form of carbon which crystallizes in the crystal system of highest symmetry known as the cubic system
Once the magma has cooled, it than has hardened into blue stone called kimberlitic stone. Durability of any gem depends on its hardness as well as its ability to protect itself from damages. Diamonds have high a capability of dispersion of fire, which give cut diamonds the ability of displaying vibrant colors brilliantly. For these reasons the market for gemstones values diamonds highest.
