From Greek "adamas", 'invincible'. First known use by Manlius (A.D. 16) and Pliny (A.D. 100).
The formation processes of the variety carbonado are unclear.
The coexistence of diamond and carbonate minerals in mantle eclogites is explained by the reaction: dolomite + 2(coesite) -> <- diopside + 2(diamond) + 2O2 (Luth, 1993).

Strain birefringence common (Raman and Rendall, 1944; Lang 1967; Howell, 2012).
Octahedral crystals, also dodecahedrons, cubes, tetrahedral. Often has curved faces.
Bort A black variety of Diamond.
crystalline aggregates and is usually crushed into finer material.
Carbonado A massive, opaque, gray, brown, or black variety of diamond used as an abrasive and in rock drills.
Five different theories for the formation of carbonado have been discussed (cf. Sautter et al. 2011).
Nano-Polycrystalline Diamond Nano-Polycrystalline Diamond (or NPD) is a completely transparent, polycrystalline synthetic consisting of randomly oriented, very tightly bonded nanoscale-sized diamond crystallites.
Stewartite (of Sutton) A magnetic, ferrouginous variety of Diamond (bort) [Clark, 1993 - "Hey's Mineral Index"].
Originally reported from Kimberley pipe, Kimberley, Northern Cape Province, South Africa.
framesite A variety of black bort from South Africa showing minute brilliant points possibly due to included diamonds.

Greatest thermal conductivity known. A sizeable stone held in the hand feels cold, hence the slang name "ice".
Cutting and grinding due to extreme hardness. Used for the windows on the Venera spacecraft to photograph Venus' surface.
