Some flawed diamonds could be called translucent: generally these diamonds are given an industrial use.
Translucent means a color which is semi transparent with glass like finish. Mr snow, Translucent is not 100% transparent.
no they are translucent
All three ; the front is a mix of transparent & translucent and the back (where the photo-receptor dyes are) is opaque.
A translucent object is something you can see through. Three examples of this is: windows, glasses and some drinking glasses
Opaque
They can be either or both. Industrial diamonds are more translucent; jewelery-grade stones are transparent.
Raw diamonds can be transparent, translucent or opaque, depending on their clarity. Gem-quality diamonds are transparent.
Gem-quality diamonds can be said to be transparent to translucent in rough crystals. Industrial diamonds are cloudy -- intensely flawed -- and may be opaque, but are not considered transparent.
Depending on the individual diamond, it is transparent to translucent.
it is a translucent substance because it lets light rays pass through it but the light rays are scattered.Another AnswerRaw diamonds are natural mineral stones. Some are clear -- about 20% qualify as gemstones, others are translucent, some cloudy others quite dull. Eighty percent of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, not clear enough for gemstone quality.
One would describe a high-quality black diamond as translucent, not as transparent.
Gem-quality diamonds -- only about 20% of all diamonds mined -- are transparent, some flawlessly transparent. A gem-stone diamond's transparency can range from transparent or sub-transparent to translucent. Industrial diamonds -- 75% of all diamonds mined -- are not transparent at all, but are even cloudy to dull. you can see through it if it is a gem-quality diamond
