Your answer lies in the innate refraction characteristic of the mineral coupled with the angle of the cut which reflects the light back to the eye of the beholder.
The proper cut will reflect the light better so it will sparkle.
the diamonds sparkle due to refraction of light through them.
Diamonds are set in metal so that light can reach the stone and reflect/ refract out of the stone. Usually, the diamond is set with prongs, or at least secured into the jewelery with metal. When the metal prongs or setting pull away from the diamond -- for any reason -- the diamond can be lost from the setting.
On the scale of hardness, the Mohs scale, diamond is the hardest substance and is rated at 10, the highest rating for hardness. Window glass is rated at 5.5, softer than diamond. Read more about the Mohs Scale, below.
Yes, a diamond cut into a shape to fit into a ring is a example of a crystalline solid

It is crunchy, munchy sparkle stars
"The less colour present in a diamond, the higher will be its colour grade. Colour will naturally manifest in the diamond as a pale yellow, and that is why colour grade refers to this lack of colour. The human eye detects the sparkle of a diamond first and then its colour. This is the reason that colour is usually considered the second most important characteristic, after cut."

A certificate from a reputable jeweler or Diamond exchange are useful for resale or a insurance security. The value of a diamond will depend on fire, sparkle and brilliance -- the gleam of light that happens when a diamond ring moves , so that light enters the stone from different angles and is reflected back to you. You're also looking for color and clarity, which is harder to determine with the naked eye, These will increase the diamond's beauty.carbon spots in the diamond will decrease the value. For a reassurance reason please have a appraisal done on the diamond by a trusted jeweler or exchange appraiser. A GemEx report will help as well for a price.
Yes, this is the reason for diamond-tipped tools.
The reason is its cut, the facets presented to light, which reflect as brilliance.
You haven't said "the same as" what. The speed of light in any substance is different from its speed in any other substance. In diamond, the speed of light depends somewhat on the wavelength ... a big part of the reason for the colorful sparkle of a diamond, enhanced by cutting the faces at just the proper angles, consistent with the natural crystal structure of the material. Between the wavelengths of 400 - 750 nanometers, very roughly the range of the visible wavelengths, the speed of light in diamond ranges from 40.5% to 41.8% of its speed in vacuum.
The main reason is the ocean (and lakes and rivers), the reflection of the sky(blue color) gives it that extraordinary blue. For ex: if they sky was red, the water would also be red.
you are trying to catch, it has good reason to flee!
Well, the reason why they built them near Thebes was to remind people that Pharaohs had extraordinary powers.
