Best Answer

Yes, a raw gem-quality diamond is a clear stone which may have a colour cast, and also may appear to be a pyramid shape or two pyramids joined at the base if you find one in its perfect natural shape.

Industrial diamonds however are not clear and represent about 80% of all diamonds mined. There is no standard shape, size, colour or clarity for an industrial diamond.

Diamonds are formed from carbon.
