Diamonds are 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. They 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'. They are the stone of truth and victory. Through the years, they were worn by many with the belief they would help the wearer to conquer their enemies and win their battles.
Diamonds are also helpful for those with sleepwalking disorders and for those considered to be mentally insane. The popular term 'diamonds are forever' is based on the belief in diamond's ability to strengthen relationships between couples.
