Locality: -

Formula: C
Description: The name Diamond refers to its hardness (Greek - adamas, invincible) and has rank 10 on the Mohs scale. There is nothing comparable to it in hardness. Its cutting resistance is 4 times greater than that of Ruby and Sapphire, the gemstone next in hardness after Diamond. This allows one to cut diamonds with diamond and/or with diamond powder. Because of the perfect cleavage, care must be taken not to accidentally bang against an edge of a diamond, and also when setting it. His very strong luster sometimes enables the experienced eye to differentiate between a diamond and its imitations. Diamond is generally insensitive to chemical reactions. High temperatures, on the other hand, can induce etchings on the facets.
