Dear blog viewers,
This week I will present you with some facts about diamonds. In these days those are what are new. Diamonds are very costly things and so many people buy diamond earinigs to look pretty or to even show off because of the beauty and the spark in them. Diamonds are very small, rare to find and they are also very shiny.
The diamond is hardest natural rock on earth, in which that does not make it unbreakable or that it cannot be reduced in size. Diamonds have a very cool technique and that is that if you want to reduce the size of a diamond you have to keep it at very high tempertures. If you put it too high then it may even disappear and turn into carbon dioxide.
Diamonds can take a very long time to be formed as of, they are formed within the earth's crust for a period of over a billion years. Diamonds are found within a volcanic rock that is commonly referred to as Kimberlite. Something else that is cool is that the diamond boasts of being 58 times harder than the second hardest mineral on earth which is the corundum. People have tried to cut down diamonds in many ways but we have figured that diamonds are brittle and will shatter when they are hit hard with a hammer.
It is common that usually all diamonds are white but really this is not the case. Impurities give the diamonds a blue, orange, red, yellow, green or black shade. The rarest shade of diamonds would be the vivid blue, pink or green diamond. Today diamonds are commonly used as engagement rings or even as a lovely gift.
