Are diamonds present in the moon?
Diamond is a form of pure carbon. Sometimes tiny fragments of diamond can form in shocked impact ejecta, so there are probably tiny pieces of diamond scattered about on the lunar surface. My suspicion is that we would not find gemstone quality diamonds the size of those common to certain places here on earth.
What are the occurrences of a diamond?
Diamonds are generally found near kimberlite and other trace minerals that indicate a volcanic pipe where diamonds have erupted to the earth's surface.
How is the clarity of a diamond determined?
Gem-stone diamond clarity is documented by a certified gemologist -- with an 'important diamond', potentially more than one gemologist -- according to a scale.From Wikipedia:"Diamond clarity is a quality of diamonds relating to the existence and visual appearance of internal characteristics of a diamond called inclusions, and surface defects called blemishes. ... Inclusions may be crystals of a foreign material or another diamond crystal, or structural imperfections such as tiny cracks that can appear whitish or cloudy. The number, size, color, relative location, orientation, and visibility of inclusions can all affect the relative clarity of a diamond. A clarity grade is assigned based on the overall appearance of the stone under ten times magnification."You can read more, below.
What are black dimonds?
Even a one-carat diamond requires billions of carbon atoms to bond, and all of those atoms must be carbon to create a colorless diamond. The slightest quirk creates a colored diamond: a bit of boron makes a blue diamond; nitrogen makes a yellow diamond; natural radiation form nearby rocks trap electrons to create a green surface color; pink or red shades are thought to be due to changes to the electron structure during the voyage to the surface. However, a black diamond's color is not related to trace elements. Small inclusions of graphite and iron clusters create the "black" color. While other colored diamonds are transparent, the black diamond is typically opaque, and therefore, does not exhibit the fire and brilliance of a white diamond or transparent colored diamond. Since a black diamond necessarily has inclusions, they fracture more easily than some other gem-quality diamonds. They do not cleave as predictably as most diamonds. The difficulties involved with cutting and polishing black diamonds precludes many from becoming gem-quality, and most are declared industrial-use only. Perhaps this helps better define a black diamond ski slope, too. The snow may look white, but there can be hidden "inclusions" that make the path more difficult to navigate safely than other grades of ski slopes.
A name of a blue diamond?
The Hope Diamond is a blue diamond.
Why does the back surface of your diamond have a silvery substance?
If you have a silvery substance on the back surface of your diamond, it is not a diamond.
What is the plural of irregularity?
The plural form of irregularity is irregularities.
What is flat surface of a diamond called?
The flat surface of a diamond is called the table if it is on the 'top' of a cut diamond. Otherwise, the flat surface is called a facet, some with specific names. Read more, below.
Will surface of a diamond be scratched?
Yes, perhaps, if scratched by another diamond.
What is one way to overcome friction in a machine?
use lubricants it smoothens the surface and reduces the irregularity between both the surfaces resulting in reduction of friction
What is a diamond facet?
A diamond facet is a surface on a diamond, generally cut by a diamond cutter. Facets are flat and their purpose is to reflect light.
What is cortical irregularity?
Cortical irregularity refers to an uneven or bumpy surface of the outer layer of the brain known as the cerebral cortex. It can be seen on medical imaging studies like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and may indicate underlying brain abnormalities or conditions. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is often needed to determine the cause and implications of cortical irregularity.
Is a diamond sedimentary rock?
No. By definition, sedimentary rock is formed on the earth's surface and in bodies of water. Diamonds are formed far below the earth's surface and are erupted to the surface by way of volcanic pipes.
