  2. Material properties of diamond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_properties_of_diamond

    Diamond is extremely strong owing to its crystal structure, known as diamond cubic, in which each carbon atom has four neighbors covalently bonded to it. Bulk cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is nearly as hard as diamond. Diamond reacts with some materials, such as steel, and c-BN wears less when cutting or abrading such material. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herkimer_diamond

    Because the first discovery sites were in the village of Middleville and in the city of Little Falls, respectively, the crystal is also known as a Middleville diamond or a Little Falls diamond. [ 3 ] Herkimer diamonds became widely recognized after workmen discovered them in large quantities while cutting into the Mohawk River Valley dolomite ...

  4. Diamond flaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_flaw

    Every natural diamond crystal contains impurities and typical intrinsic or "self-defects": vacancies, dislocations, and interstitial atoms. The most common impurity in diamond is nitrogen, which can comprise up to 1% of a diamond by mass. Nitrogen as a diamond impurity was first identified in 1959 by Kaiser and Bond of Bell Telephone. [1]

    The measurement of sales of popular music starts high relative to the wedding anniversary scale, concentrating on gold and platinum (see gold album).Likewise, credit card companies usually have a "gold card" and a "platinum card" (many formerly had a "silver card" then followed by a "gold card", but due to similarity in appearance between silver and platinum these were often discontinued with ...

  6. Diamond type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_type

    Type Ib diamonds absorb green light in addition to blue, and have a more intense or darker yellow or brown colour than Type Ia diamonds. The stones have an intense yellow or occasionally brown tint; the rare canary diamonds belong to this type, which represents only 0.1% of known natural diamonds. The visible absorption spectrum is gradual ...

    Detailed view of the recreated great Golden Fleece of king Louis XV of France. Below the 107 carats (21.4 g) spinel Côte de Bretagne hangs the French Blue diamond and the fleece itself, set with hundreds of yellow diamond replicas. The Tavernier Blue was the precursor diamond to the Blue Diamond of the French Crown (aka the French Blue).

    The Golconda diamondiferous region is located in the Southern Indian peninsular shield, [2] which was formed during the process of proterozoic and Insular India. [3] The region is spread over 50,000 km 2 (19,000 sq mi), within the sediments of the Krishna-Pennar river basin and Deccan Traps, [2] and contains 120 out of the 150 kimberlite pipes in India. [4]

  9. Diamond-like carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

    Naturally occurring diamond is almost always found in the crystalline form with a purely cubic orientation of sp 3 bonded carbon atoms. Sometimes there are lattice defects or inclusions of atoms of other elements that give color to the stone, but the lattice arrangement of the carbons remains cubic and bonding is purely sp 3.
