Diamonds are the hardest substance
known to man with the highest rating of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Only a
diamond can scratch another
diamond. A diamond is made of pure carbon, the only
gemstone made of just one element. Interestingly, carbon is the building block
that is found in every living thing on Earth. What makes
diamonds so hard is
their unique crystal structure, the specific arrangement of carbon atoms.
Millions and millions years ago when the continents were formed, enough heat and
pressure were present deep inside the Earth to create diamonds.
Blue diamonds
are created when boron is present in addition to the carbon atoms.
Yellow diamonds
form when nitrogen is present. Diamonds have found their way to the surface
through the eruption of volcanoes. The rock formed by the volcanoes is called Kimberlite and that is where diamonds are found. Today diamonds are mined in
about 25 countries, with a large percentage being mined in South Africa.
Diamond care: Diamonds repel water but
unfortunately readily accept wax or grease.
Diamonds will become dirty and dull
when they are exposed to skin oils, perfumes, lotions, dirt, and dust. These
elements adhere to the
surface of the diamond and reduce its brilliance. To
clean your
diamond, steaming or ultrasonic cleaners are acceptable. Your
diamond
jewelry may also be cleaned with a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with plain or
soapy water or mild household chemicals. |
