What is vs1 diamond?
A diamond with one very slight inclusion visible with a 10x magnifier would be described as a VS1 stone.
What is the treatment called when you burn a tiny channel ointo a diamond to reach an inclusion and inject bleach?
The treatment you are referring to is called laser drilling. This process involves using a laser to create a tiny channel into a diamond to reach an inclusion, which can then be treated by injecting a bleaching agent to improve the diamond's clarity.
What is a break inside of a diamond called?
A break inside a diamond is called an inclusion. These are natural features (like fractures or minerals) that formed in the diamond while it was developing in the earth. Inclusions can affect a diamond's appearance and value.
What type of substance is a diamond?
diamond is formed from carbon. Some diamonds include other trace minerals, but they are not necessary in the formation of diamond.
What is the interior of a diamond?
The interior of a diamond is the same as the exterior: a matrix of carbon atoms. If a gem-quality diamond, these atoms lack some level of inclusion of any other mineral. If industrial diamond, the level of inclusions of other minerals render the diamond opaque or cloudy.
Do diamonds have black dots inside of them?
A diamond that contains an inclusion -- or several -- visible to the naked eye, could appear to contain black dots. Such a diamond would be on the low end of diamond quality in terms of clarity.
Is an F-G diamond good?
'Good' is a judgement and you are the judge. The colour ranking of a white diamond of F-G is a step or two below 'colourless'. This means that the inclusion of nitrogen, which gives diamond a yellow cast, is minimal. A step or two above this rating means that the inclusion of nitrogen is non-existent. To the non-gemologist, to the naked eye, this colour ranking is imperceptible.
Do blue diamonds occur naturally?
Yes, and the natural occurrence of this colour is attributable to the inclusion of boron within the crystal structure of the diamond.
What makes a diamond brown?
Brown is the most common colour of gem-quality diamond found. The colour is caused by the inclusion of nickel in its composition, or from irradiation. Plastic deformation is another potential cause for this colour.
What are inclusions?
Financial inclusion social inclusion digital inclusion educational inclusion political inclusion
Why diamond not used in engineering applications?
Engineering applications that require precision, or extreme cutting ability would involve the inclusion of industrial diamonds.
Can you see an inclusion in a diamond that is an SI2?
Yes, as its rating of SI 2 implies, using a 10X loupe, you can see two Slight Inclusions.
