They are then brought to the Earth&#8217;s Surface through Volcanic Eruptions via Lamproite Pipes. When the Magma cools, it leaves behind Kimberlite Rock, which is the parent rock that Diamonds are found in.<\/p>\n<p><h2>2) How Old are Diamonds?<\/h2>\n<p>\nDiamonds were created anywhere from <strong>1 Billion &#8211; 3.3 Billion<\/strong> years ago&#8230; <strong>almost as old as the Earth itself!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>3) What Crystal System is a Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe Crystal System of a Diamond is <strong>Isometric-Hexoctahedral<\/strong> (<strong>Cubic<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p><h2>4) What Causes Diamonds to have Color?<\/h2>\n<p>\nImpurities, Minerals or Defects that mix with the Diamond Carbon upon creation give Diamonds their Color. <strong>Baron<\/strong> = Blue, Nitrogen = Yellow, Lattice = Brown, <strong>Radiation<\/strong> = Green, Purple, Pink, Orange or Red.<\/p>\n<p><h2>5) What&#8217;s the Largest Diamond in the World?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe largest Diamond in the World is the <strong>Cullinan Diamond<\/strong> which weighs <strong>3,106 Carats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>6) What&#8217;s the Oldest Recorded Diamond in History?<\/h2>\n<p>\nDiamonds were first recorded over <strong>3,000 years ago in India<\/strong>. The name of the oldest Diamond is the <strong>Briolette of India<\/strong> (90.38 Carats), dating back to the 12th Century. <\/p>\n<p>\nThere is also mention of Diamond (as well Emerald, and Sapphire) in the Bible; <strong>The Book of Exodus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>7) How are Diamond&#8217;s Priced?<\/h2>\n<p>\nDiamonds are mainly priced by<strong> the 4C&#8217;s<\/strong>: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight. <\/p>\n<p>But, other factors contribute to the price as well: Shape, Polish, Symmetry, Florescence and Certification.<\/p>\n<p>They all make up the going rate of Diamonds, how they are priced, sold and purchased.<\/p>\n<p><h2>8) What Clarities are Eye-Clean?<\/h2>\n<p>\nEye-Clean means that when you look at a Diamond face up (looking directly down into the top of the stone), you won&#8217;t see any Flaws or Imperfections in the stone.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Eye-Clean Clarities are<\/strong>: Flawless (FL), Internally Flawless (IF), Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 &#038; VVS2), Very Slightly Included (VS1 &#038; VS2), Slightly Included (SI1 &#038; SI2), and Included or Imperfect (I1, I2 &#038; I3).<\/p>\n<p><h2>9) What&#8217;s the most Popular Diamond Clarity?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe most Popular Clarity is <strong>SI1 Clarity<\/strong>, because the Flaws are small, microscopic only, and is a nice mix of good quality and affordability at the same time. Flaws in an SI1 Diamond (or higher) can only be seen under 10x magnification.<\/p>\n<p><h2>10) Why is there no A,B,C of Diamond Color?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThere is no A,B,C because Diamond Graders, who were devising a more accurate system for Grading Diamonds, didn&#8217;t want to <strong>confuse the letters with other older terms<\/strong> (A,B,C in the early 1900&#8217;s) that were used to vaguely represent the Quality of a Diamond. This system is no longer used today, hence the reason why Diamond Color starts with D (<strong>the best<\/strong>) and continues all the way down the Alphabet to Z.<\/p>\n<p><h2>11) What Clarities look Flawless to the Naked Eye?<\/h2>\n<p>\nFlawless appearing Clarity Grades are: Flawless (FL), Internally Flawless (IF), Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 &#038; VVS2), Very Slightly Included (VS1 &#038; VS2), Slightly Included Level 1 (SI1). These Clarities will all look identical to the naked eye, because <strong>all of the Inclusions are invisible to the eye<\/strong>, and only seen under 10x magnification.<\/p>\n<p><h2>12) What Diamonds Glow-In-The-Dark?<\/h2>\n<p>\nSome Diamonds have a <strong>natural phenomenon<\/strong> called <strong>Fluorescence<\/strong> and will Glow-In-The-Dark (<strong>under UV light<\/strong>). Fluorescence comes in 4 Grades: Faint, Medium, Strong and Very Strong.<\/p>\n<p><h2>13) What&#8217;s the average selling Carat Weight?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe average selling Carat Weight for <strong>Diamond Engagement Rings<\/strong> is only <strong>.38 Points<\/strong>&#8230; Just a little over 1\/3 Carat.<\/p>\n<p><h2>14) Can Diamonds really cut Glass?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>YES!<\/strong> Glass on the <strong>Moh&#8217;s Scale of Hardness<\/strong> is a <strong>6-7<\/strong>, while Diamond is a <strong>10<\/strong>. So anything harder than Glass can cut Glass.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut, I wouldn&#8217;t try this on a faceted Diamond, for you may chip or break the vulnerable edge of the stone by sheer force and pressure. <\/p>\n<p><h2>15) What&#8217;s the Absolute Hardness of Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nWhile a Diamond is a 10 on the Moh&#8217;s Scale, this is just <strong>a relative number<\/strong>. The actual real hardness of a Diamond is <strong>1600<\/strong>. The next more durable substance is <strong>Corundum<\/strong> (Ruby &#038; Sapphire), which has an Absolute Hardness of 400. Big Difference!<\/p>\n<p><h2>16) Where does the word &#8216;Carat&#8217; come from?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe Term &#8216;Carat&#8217; (as in Carat Weight), comes from the <strong>Carob Seeds<\/strong> that Diamonds were originally weighed from. Carob Seeds (from a Carob Tree) are pretty uniform in shape, size and weight, so they made the most perfect balance for weighing Diamonds, that is, <strong>until the invention of the Diamond Scale!<\/strong> :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>17) Who devised the Ideal Cut Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nA man by the name of <strong>Marcel Tolkowsky<\/strong> invented the Ideal Cut Diamond back in <strong>1919<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>18) Are Diamonds the Hardest Substance on Earth?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>No!<\/strong> Diamonds are the hardest &#8216;<strong>Natural<\/strong>&#8216; substance that Mother Nature makes, but man combines Diamond with Synthetic Minerals to form <strong>Aggregated Diamond Nanorods!<\/strong> This man-made substance is much harder than a genuine Diamond.<\/p>\n<p><h2>19) How much Heat does it take for a Diamond to burn?<\/h2>\n<p>\nA Diamond&#8217;s Melting Point (as well as it&#8217;s Freezing Point), is <strong>3550 Celsius<\/strong> (6422 Fahrenheit). The Boiling Point of Diamonds is 4827 Celsius (8720.6 Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n<p><h2>20) What can Scratch a Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe only real substance that can scratch, or leave a mark on a Diamond, <strong>is another Diamond! <\/strong>Which is why Diamond Dust is used on saws that cut Diamonds and Facet them! :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>21) A Brilliant Cut Diamond has how many Facets?<\/h2>\n<p>\nA Brilliant Cut Diamond (Today&#8217;s <strong>Standard Round Diamond<\/strong>) has <strong>58 Facets<\/strong> on them. 57 if the Diamond has no Culet!<\/p>\n<p><h2>22) What causes a Diamond to have a Fish-Eye?<\/h2>\n<p>\nA Diamond that is <strong>Cut too Shallow<\/strong> (less than 51% Depth), will have the Girdle of the Diamond reflected around the Table of the stone, which looks like a ring, or a <strong>Fish Eye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>23) What Facets on a Brilliant Cut are Octagon?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThere are two Facets on a Round Brilliant Cut Diamond that are <strong>Octagon in Shape<\/strong>: The <strong>Table<\/strong> and the <strong>Culet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>24) What Power Magnification are Diamonds Graded with?<\/h2>\n<p>\nTen Power (<strong>10x<\/strong>) is what Jewelers use to Grade Diamonds with.<\/p>\n<p><h2>25) What causes Fire in a Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Fire<\/strong>, which is <strong>flashes of colored light<\/strong>, is caused by light coming into the Diamond at an angle, which then bends the light, and forms all the colors of a rainbow.<\/p>\n<p><h2>26) What&#8217;s a Bearded Girdle?<\/h2>\n<p>\nA Diamond that has <strong>small hairline chips<\/strong> around the outer edge of the Girdle is called a Bearded Girdle. This is caused by normal wear and tear to the stone over the course of a lifetime. It can happen to any Diamond if it gets banged around enough.<\/p>\n<p><h2>27) What&#8217;s the MM Width of an 1 CT Ideal Cut Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe width of an 1 Carat Ideal Cut Diamond, from one side of the stone to the opposite side, is <strong>6.5 mm<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><h2>28) What&#8217;s the Rarest Diamond Color?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Pink<\/strong> is the rarest Diamond Color there is, and<strong> the most expensive<\/strong> as well. :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>29) A 1 Carat Diamond has how many Points?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThere are <strong>100 Points<\/strong> to a 1 Carat (1.00) Diamond&#8230; <strong>Almost like Pennies to a Dollar! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>30) The Total Depth of a Diamond is a Combo of what?<\/h2>\n<p>\nTo get the Total Diamond Depth, you&#8217;ll need to combine the <strong>Crown<\/strong>, the <strong>Girdle<\/strong> and the <strong>Pavilion<\/strong> of the Diamond. These 3 things will give you the Total Diamond Depth, which on an Ideal Cut Diamond is <strong>58.7 &#8211; 62.3%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>31) Can Diamonds Float in Water?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>No!<\/strong> Diamonds are heavier than water and will sink to the bottom. This is all due to the <strong>Specific Gravity<\/strong> of a Diamond. Diamond is a <strong>3.52<\/strong>, while Water is only <strong>1.00<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><h2>32) What&#8217;s the most well-known Diamond in the World?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe <strong>Hope Diamond<\/strong>, which is a large (45.52 Carats) Blue Diamond (actually <strong>Blue-Green<\/strong>), is the most popular and most well-known Diamond in the world. <strong>Harry Winston<\/strong> donated the Diamond to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.si.edu\/Encyclopedia_SI\/nmnh\/hope.htm\">Smithsonian Institute<\/a>, where it&#8217;s been on display since 1958.<\/p>\n<p><h2>33) How much Earth is Mined for a 1 Carat Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nIt takes <strong>250 tons of Earth<\/strong> to be excavated just to obtain a Diamond of 1.00 Carat in weight.<\/p>\n<p><h2>34) The word &#8216;Diamond&#8217; comes from where?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe word &#8216;<strong>Diamond<\/strong>&#8216; comes from the Greek word &#8216;<strong>Adamas<\/strong>&#8216;, which literally means &#8216;<strong>Unbreakable<\/strong>&#8216;.<\/p>\n<p><h2>35) What causes a Diamond to feel warm to the touch?<\/h2>\n<p>\nDiamonds have a <strong>high Thermal Conductivity<\/strong>, which makes them feel warm to the touch. Their outstanding Thermal Conductivity is also what allows Diamond Testers to determine if a particular stone is Diamond or not.<\/p>\n<p><h2>36) What year did the Engagement Ring start?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>1477<\/strong> is when <strong>Archduke Maximilian<\/strong> started the whole Engagement Ring craze!<\/p>\n<p><h2>37) Diamond is what State&#8217;s Official Gemstone?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Arkansas<\/strong> is the state with Diamond as its Gemstone.<\/p>\n<p><h2>38) Diamond is the Birthstone for what Month?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>April <\/strong>Birthday&#8217;s have the Diamond as their Birthstone.<\/p>\n<p><h2>39) What&#8217;s the most Popular Cut of Diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe most popular CUT of Diamond is the <strong>Round Brilliant Cut<\/strong> Diamond. It&#8217;s also<strong> the most expensive CUT!<\/strong> :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>40) Are there Diamonds in Outer Space?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Yes!<\/strong> Diamonds have been found in <strong>Meteorites! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>41) A Diamond Trigon is what?<\/h2>\n<p>\nA Trigon is a <strong>triangular shaped growth<\/strong> pattern that can sometimes appear on a Diamond, normally around the Girdle, or on a Natural.<\/p>\n<p><h2>42) What is Diamond Scintillation?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Scintillation<\/strong> is what they call the <strong>Sparkle Effects<\/strong> in a Diamond. <\/p>\n<p><h2>43) Diamond is the Traditional Anniversary Gift for what Years?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThere are many <strong>Traditional Anniversaries<\/strong> that use Diamond as the Gift to give: The <strong>9th, 10th, 15th, 17th, 20th, and 30th<\/strong> Anniversaries. But really, Diamond is perfect for ALL Anniversaries. :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>44) Who Devised the 4C&#8217;s?<\/h2>\n<p>\nGIA (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gia.edu\/\">The Gemological Institute of America<\/a>) devised and developed the 4C&#8217;s in <strong>1949<\/strong> to standardize the Diamond&#8217;s Grading Industry.<\/p>\n<p><h2>45) Flaws on the outside of a Diamond are called what?<\/h2>\n<p>\nFlaws on the outside of a Diamond are called <strong>Blemishes<\/strong>. While Flaws on the inside of the Diamond are called <strong>Inclusions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>46) Where do Star Facets appear?<\/h2>\n<p>\nStar Facets appear around the <strong>outside of the Table<\/strong>, on the Crown of the Diamond.<\/p>\n<p><h2>47) Fancy Cut Diamonds are what Cuts?<\/h2>\n<p>\nAny Cut of Diamond that is <strong>NOT the Brilliant Cut<\/strong> is called a &#8220;<strong>Fancy Cut<\/strong>&#8220;.
