A Diamond is Forever

[Dallas Goldsold]

The word "diamond" originates from the Greek "adamos", meaning
"unbreakable". Indeed , diamonds are the hardest naturally-occurring
substances. Basically made of carbon, the same material of which
charcoal is composed of, diamonds are created over billions of years
around 100 miles below the surface . Diamonds have relatively high
optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors) and
refractive index (ability to bend light when it passes through) which
result in the characteristic luster.

What makes a diamond so precious ? First , is its extreme rarity. On
an average, 100 tons of rock have to be mined to extract 2 grams of
diamonds. Second , is its extreme beauty . There are a few parameters
to determine a diamonds value - the four Cs (carat, cut, color, and
clarity), shape and fluorescence. A diamonds history also affects its
price. Many of the most famous , and valuable, diamonds today are not
necessarily large, but they are definitely of immense historical
importance . Case in point: the Kohinoor and the Hope Diamond. Of
course, there are some like the Cullinan, which are famous by dint of
their sizes alone.
