According to Wikipedia's definition of mineral, no.
"A mineral is a naturally occurring solid chemical substance formed through biogeochemical processes, having characteristic chemical composition, highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties."
Diamonds formed in laboratories are formed from carbon, which is an element. By definition, a mineral occurs naturally. So no, a lab-formed diamond is not a mineral.
carbon
You can purchase them from the laboratory, or from a jeweler who sells man-made diamonds.
Man-made diamonds can be almost any colour, just like natural diamonds. The colour of a diamond will not be the sole definition of almost any colour of diamond.
Diamonds are the hardest mineral on earth.
Manufactured diamonds are all formed from carbon, which is really a mineral.
By definition a mineral must form by natural processes. Lab made diamonds are not natural.
By definition, a mineral must form by natural processes. So anything man-made, even if it is chemically an structurally identical to a mineral, is not a mineral. However, natural diamond is formed from graphite as well.
Man-made diamonds are usually called man-made diamonds.
The Man Who Made Diamonds was created in 1937.
Natural diamonds are formed by Mother Nature: man-made diamonds are manufactured in a laboratory.
Not true minerals, as by definition, minerals are naturally occurring substances.To be a mineral it has to be a hard substance which fulfills the 4 requirements below:1. it has to be made by nature2. it has to have a crystal structure3. it has to have a chemical formula4. it cannot be made by man or plant or animalSince diamonds made in the laboratory are man-made they don't fulfill all of the requirements.No, because for something to be mineral, it has to be a naturally occurring, solid, inorganic, a definite chemical composition, and a crystal structure.Diamonds created in the laboratory are not naturally occurring.I don't think they are considered minerals
Diamonds made in factories are called man-made diamonds.
Diamond fits the definition of a mineral in that it is naturally occurring, a solid, composed of an element or combination of elements, and has a crystalline structure. Many minerals contain carbon. Graphite, the mineral, is also pure carbon but with a different crystalline structure.
A man made diamond is not becuase its made up of different particles then teh all natural diamonds
The atomic mineral used by Mother Nature to form diamonds is carbon.
Man made diamonds are chemically the same as natural diamonds.
