In the mining process, diamonds are separated from other materials using water and gravity.
Minerals included in diamonds are called flaws or inclusions. Generally, with gem-quality diamonds, these are cut away from the finished diamond.
Trace minerals, however, can give a diamond its colour. Boron and nitrogen are both examples of other minerals included in a diamond, giving the diamond a blue or yellow cast, respectively.
