Diamonds are separated into five types: Type IaA, Type IaB, Type Ib, Type IIa, and Type IIb. The impurities measured are at the atomic level within the crystal lattice of carbon atoms and so, unlike inclusions, require an infrared spectrometer to detect. [1] Different diamond types react in different ways to diamond enhancement techniques
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]
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]
Some high-end fine jewelers have gotten on board with the trend. In 2023, jeweler Jean Dousset, the great-great-grandson of Louis Cartier, opened a showroom with “designer” lab-grown diamonds ...
Colored and Colorless Diamonds. The color of a diamond also plays a role in its value, with colorless diamonds given the greatest value. There are pink, yellow, blue and even black diamonds.
Crater of Diamonds State Park is situated over an eroded lamproite volcanic pipe. The park is open to the public and, for a small fee, rockhounds and visitors can dig for diamonds and other gemstones. Park visitors find more than 600 diamonds each year of all colors and grades. [5] [6] As of 2015 over 75,000 diamonds had been found in the ...
This is a partial list of the largest non-synthetic diamonds with a rough stone (uncut) weight of over 200 carats (40 grams). [1] The list is not intended to be complete—e.g., the Cullinan (formerly Premier) mine alone has produced 135 diamonds larger than 200 carats since mining commenced.
More teams with more arguments — almost all of them flawed, not to mention citing different criteria — have sparked a new wave of public “discourse.”
