What makes pink diamonds pink?
From Wikipedia:" Type IIa diamond can be colored pink, red, or brown due to structural anomalies arising through plastic deformation during crystal growth. These diamonds are rare (1.8% of gem diamonds), but constitute a large percentage of Australian production."
Can you tell the difference between real and fake Diamonds with the naked eye?
That depends, some gems are being made now to look almost completely like the real thing. However these are marked specifically because they are so hard to tell from natural diamonds. However, cheap diamonds that are crystal or glass will be obvious form the naked eye due to the clarity, and color.
What makes a blue diamond blue?
Blue diamonds are blue due to the inclusion of very trace amounts of boron. Blue diamonds are white diamonds that happened to grow near a source of boron. The boron is included in the diamond crystal and substitutes in a few spots for carbon. Boron has three electrons: carbon has four. When combined, this creates an opening allowing some light energy to be absorbed. Incoming red light is thus filtered out returning a blue color to your eye. The Hope Diamond is the most famous of the blue diamonds. You can read the link, below, to learn more details of how boron makes diamonds (and LED's) blue.
Are diamonds rare?
yes diamonds are rare and beautiful
Why are the diamonds disappearing?
Diamonds are not necessarily disappearing. Diamonds are being mined all over the world, every day.
What make diamonds hard?
The structure of the carbon atoms make diamonds hard, the hardest natural mineral. Their crystal habit is octahedral and their crystal system is isometric-hexoctahedral.
What are the geometric characteristics of diamonds?
A raw diamond has these geometric characteristics: its crystal habit is octahedral, and its crystal system is isometric-hexoctahedral (cubic).
What is the most famous type of crystal?
Diamonds.
What is diamonds crystal pattern?
According to the Galleries site: " Diamond crystal system is isometric; 4/m bar 3 2/m and its crystal habits include isometric forms such as cubes and octahedrons, twinning is also seen."
What are the crystal gems?
Diamonds, emeralds, saphires, peridot, and topaz are some crystal gems.
Which type of crystal system is also known as cubic includes diamonds and has three axes of symmetry that are at right angles to each other?
Isometric
Person who work in diamonds?
Diamonds are a natural occurring crystal form of carbon. They can be artificially made.
What is the crystallised element in diamonds?
Carbon in a tight crystal lattice form can be found in all diamonds.
What objects are prisms?
Crystal chandeliers, diamonds, etc.
How would you separate diamonds from Herkimer diamonds?
Herkimer "diamonds" are twinned quartz crystals and so could be recognised by crystal shape alone. also, diamonds superior hardness would make it stand out from a Herkimer "diamond" if you were to test the two against a beryl or corundum crystal.
What dragon will you get with a gold egg with silver diamonds in DragonVale?
This will be a crystal dragon.
Is there a precious material that looks like glass with colors in it?
Diamonds and crystal
