A diamond is pure diamond, unlike metal, which can be melted and combined to dilute its purity.

What is the color of 100 percent pure Diamond?

Diamonds come in all colours of the rainbow and every one of them is practically pure diamond. For example, with trace amounts of nitrogen, the diamond will have a yellow appearance; with boron, blue, and so forth. But each is still considered to be 100% pure diamond, regardless of its colour or lack of it.


What is the pure form of diamond?

More correctly 'Diamond' is a pure form of carbon. To clarify further. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. It is how the carbon atoms are arranged in the adamantine crystal structure. Graphite is anopther pure form(allotrope) of carbon. Its just that the carbon atoms are arranged in a different way. A third pure form (allotrope) of carbon is the Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene). NB An ALLOTROPE is an element that exhits in different physical forms. Do NOT confuse with isotope. NNB Have a look in Wikipedia under Diamond/Adamantine Structure. Similarly, graphite structure , and Buckminster Fullerene structurte. They are all forms of PURE carbon . There is NO other element present.


Is diamond a mixture?

Pure diamond is unique in that it is a gemstone composed of a single element, carbon. However, most white diamonds contain trace amounts of nitrogen, with less than 2% of natural white diamonds having no nitrogen. So, speaking of pure diamond, it is not a mixture, but in reality, most white diamonds do contain trace impurities of nitrogen (less than 1% however).


Is diamond an element or a compound?

Diamond is a pure element made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure.


Are diamond nexus synthetic diamonds?

Diamond Nexus offers both synthetic diamonds(made with pure carbon) as well as diamond simulants that are not made with pure carbon, but are nearly identical to a natural diamond besides having different elements. The pure carbon gems are only available in a canary color though.
