All About Diamonds

1. Carbon

   • Dimonds
     • Under conditions of extremely high temperature and pressure, carbon atoms arrange themselves into regular patterns that are interconnected in three dimensions.
       • This strongly reinforced framework is what gives its remarkable hardness.
       • The closeness of the atoms makes diamond very dense and also allows it to bend light, producing Approved its much-admired sparkle when diamond is cut.
       • This three-dimensional structure does not allow the free flow of electrons, so diamonds do not Not Approved conduct electricity.
