Diamond is the hardest known natural
substance on earth. They are not only prized and famed for their exceptional
hardness, but also for their high refractive index (brilliance) and their
remarkably high dispersion
rate of visible light (fire). Although traditional colorless or 'white
diamonds' are by far the most popular, colored diamonds, yellow and brown
diamonds (champagne and cognac) are actually the most commonly occurring diamonds. Other
fancy diamond colors include blue, pink, red, green, orange and black. Red
diamonds are actually one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Rather than owing their color to traces of chemical
impurities like most other types of colored gemstones, the color of red
diamonds is the unique result of minute defects formed in the crystal lattice.
The name 'diamond' was taken from the Greek
word, 'adamas', meaning 'invincible', a sheer testament to its remarkable and
superior hardness. Most diamonds form under extreme pressure and at very high
temperatures, typically at depths of over 140 kilometers inside the Earth's
mantle.
Approximately half of the world's diamonds
come from Central and Southern Africa. Canada has recently become a main commercial
source for fine white diamonds.
Historically, diamonds have been claimed to
possess many supernatural and metaphysical qualities. It is believed that
diamonds can protect against panic, pestilence and enchantments. Diamonds can
amplify thoughts, whether positive or negative, which means if they are given
with love, they can return mutual feelings; but if given with ill intentions,
they can become 'cursed diamonds '. Diamonds are the stone of truth and victory. They were
worn by many with the belief that they help the wearer to conquer their enemies
and win their battles.
Diamonds are also especially helpful for
those with sleepwalking disorders and for those considered to be mentally
insane. Diamond is the official modern birthstone for April and it is also used
as an official 60 year anniversary gemstone. The popular term 'diamonds are
forever' is based on the belief in diamond's ability to strengthen
relationships between couples.
