Best Answer

Another diamond could mar, damage and otherwise 'destroy' a (cut) diamond, thus significantly diminishing its value.

What are the chemical compounds that can damage diamonds?

The thing that created it can destroy it. Intense heat can destroy a diamond. Diamond is super compressed allotrope of carbon. Concentrated Sulfuric acid (Oleum) cannot even change graphite from your pencil anyway so Diamond is out of question. Stomach acid is too weak (low molar Hcl). Try maybe Superfluoroantimonic Acid(antimony pentahydrate in a hydrofluoric acid base.) I good blow with a hardened steel chisel at angles specific to the fractional planes of the crystal lattice will easily shatter a diamond into diamond crystal shards. Diamonds were cleaved for centuries by this manner, and an amateur could destroy a gem quality diamond easily if not well trained. You could make a very expensive light from a diamond! Its called a carbon arc lamp. I don't know that a diamond carbon arc lamp has ever been tested but it would work the same way as a graphite based carbon arc lamp. The carbon would evaporate away into carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and unburnt(sublimation technically) diamond dust. I wonder if a pink diamond would give off a tinted light! teehee 5 million dollars a carat! You can heat a diamond with a torch and place it in liquid oxygen it will chemically transform into gases. One can also use a simple device called a thermal lance. It will easily destroy a diamond.
