Yes it is. They are essentially compressed carbon; when the carbon is at a very high temperature and under very high pressure, the bonds are formed. Natural diamonds are made 180km below the earth’s surface. The temperatures at this depth are between 1100o c and 1400o c. Diamonds rank 10 (the highest) on the Mohs scale, range from transparent to opaque and is not affected by any chemicals.
