The mineral is graphite.
The mineral is carbon: allotropes include diamond, graphite and coal.
Diamond is actually considered a mineral.
No, maybe for elements but not for minerals, the strongest mineral is diamond.
Strong is an interesting verb, implying able to withstand pressure. Diamond is known as the 'hardest' natural mineral.
Its a simulated diamond. Or lab created.
'Finest' is a judgement call, and you are the judge. Lab-created diamonds can be custom-ordered, based on the source of the carbon. You can also specify a colour of diamond that you want. Any lab-created diamond will always be a lab-created diamond, and its competitor won't be another lab-created diamond, but will be a natural diamond.
Yes. A certified gemologist, however, will always be able to determine that the diamond is a lab-created diamond. It will always have a lower monetary value than a comparable natural diamond.
The answer you want is based on what you consider 'best': clarity, colour, cut or carat weight. Any lab-created diamond is made from carbon and is a real, lab-created diamond. Another answer may be: the best one is the one that you can afford.
A certified gemologist can determine whether your diamond is a natural diamond or a lab-created diamond.
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.
A genuine diamond can be natural or lab-created. A certified gemologist can help you identify the source of your diamond, and whether the diamond is indeed a diamond.
the strongest mineral is the diamond, actually the strongest mineral is the quartz and the strongest rock is diamond
The mineral in diamond is carbon.
The property is hardness; the ability of a mineral to scratch other substances. Diamond has the highest mineral hardness. yes, diamond powder (basically very small bits of diamond) is commonly used as an abrasive on the wheel to polish other diamonds and other softer gemstones, including cubic zirconia. Diamond cutters will use lab grown diamond powder when they need a more aggressive polish, and natural diamond powder when they want a softer polish.
It is not a mineral
No, diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
