## Gemology

Gemstone Information

* Diamond is a traditional birthstone for April, the zodiacal stone for Aries and Taurus and the tenth and sixtieth anniversary stone, also being the traditional stone on an engagement ring.
* Diamonds have a Mohs hardness of 10 and are considered the hardest minerals on Earth, being able to cut glass cleanly.

* Diamonds are formed at high temperature and pressure at depths of 140 to 190 kilometers (87 to 118 mi) in the Earth's mantle. Carbon-containing minerals provide the carbon source, and the growth occurs over periods from 1 billion to 3.3 billion years (25% to 75% of the age of the Earth). Diamonds are brought close to the Earth's surface through deep volcanic eruptions by magma, which cools into igneous rocks
* Although white is the most commonly occurring color, diamond is available in a veritable plethora of colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, even brown and black.
	+ Diamond rarely occurs in color-change varieties, which have a different color depending on whether they are viewed in incandescent or natural light.
		- Color change diamond is called a chameleon diamond
* Diamond is a polymorph of the element carbon, and graphite is another. Because of this, diamond only has a chemical formula of Carbon (C)
	+ Diamond is one of the few minerals that are only in the native element group.
* Diamonds are associated with longevity, balance, clarity, intensity, success, and abundance
	+ It also brings eternity, purity, and high-frequency energy.
	+ It also is a stone of amplification, including thoughts, strengths, and weaknesses.
	+ One famous diamond is the Hope Diamond. One of the most famous and valuable jewels in the world.
* The powder of a diamond is often used industrially, the small crystals being used as cutting aid to cut and facet other tough minerals, and saw through metals.
	+ Diamonds cannot be scratched or cut by anything other than diamond itself. However, if a diamond is pressured just right, it will shatter.
