Diamond
Diamonds are precious, lustrous gemstones made of highly-compressed
carbon. Diamonds are one of the hardest materials known.
Diamonds can be found in lots of different places in the
world, however they are usually found in India, Brazil and
Sub Saharan Africa. Today, the majority of Diamonds are
mined in South Africa. South Africa has plenty of Diamond
pipes or hardened lava streams. The clearest Diamonds are
usually worth the most and a flawless clear Diamond is usually
stated as a blue- white because they reflect back a pure
blue white light to the viewer. Colors of diamonds range
from colorless, yellow, orange, brown, to almost black.
Rarer colors are red, blue, green, and purple; these colors
(called fancies) are quite valuable.
Diamond is the birthstone for April.
