Most natural diamonds are formed at high temperature and pressure at depths of 140 to 190 kilometers (87 to 118 mi) in the Earth's mantle. Diamonds are an optically isotropic crystal that is transparent to opaque. Due to its strong covalent bonding, diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material known.

Is graphite a solid liquid or a gas?
Graphite is a solid. It's commonly seen in pencils (as a replacement for real lead, which is poisonous), and is a component in the process in manufacturing man-made or industrial diamonds.
Are solid particles arranged in a pattern?
Particles tightley packed together do not change position PS trees
Does Uranus have diamonds?
Scientists think diamonds may have formed under the high pressures deep inside Uranus. They think there may be an ocean of liquid diamond with solid diamonds floating on it. Surprising!
What is a solid element used in diamonds and graphite?
carbon is in both diamond and graphite along with countless other things like charcoal
Are chocolate diamonds natural or manufactured?
'Chocolate diamonds' are named thus because this shade of brown diamond is the colour of chocolate. Some brown diamonds are natural diamonds; some brown diamonds are manufactured diamonds. A gemologist will help you determine the source of your brown diamond. Manufactured diamonds are always less expensive than natural diamonds with similar characteristics.
What state of matter is diamonds?
Diamonds are a solid.
Are diamonds a solid liquid or gas?
In their natural state, diamonds are a solid.
Are diamonds solid?
Yes.
What is worth more money solid diamonds or crushed diamonds?
About 20% of all diamonds mined are gem-stone quality -- solid diamonds in your query. These diamonds can be cut and polished and sold as expensive gems. The 80% remaining are industrial diamonds, which can be purchased by the bag full for about the price of a latte. These are the crushed diamonds in your query.
Diamonds and graphite are examples of what solid?
Diamonds and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.
Do you breathe out diamonds in their gas state?
No, breathing out diamonds in their gas state is not possible. Diamonds are a solid form of carbon and cannot exist as a gas in the way that oxygen, nitrogen, or other gases do. This concept does not align with the properties of diamonds.
Why diamonds are used to drill bats?
Basically it because diamonds are made from squashed carbon particles which happen to be one of the most solid elements
What is the state matter of diamonds?
Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is a solid at room temperature, and to well above it.
Are diamonds made of glass?
No, diamonds are not made of glass. Diamonds are a naturally occurring mineral composed of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure, while glass is made from silica and other materials melted together and cooled to form a solid.
What is naturally occurring solid inorganic compound or element?
Diamonds are naturally occurring solid inorganic compounds composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
What do diamonds share with all minerals?
Diamonds share the property of being a naturally occurring crystalline solid with a definite chemical composition, as all minerals have. Additionally, diamonds are formed in the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature, which is a common process for many minerals.
Why are diamonds not considered minerals?
Diamond fits the definition of a mineral in that it is naturally occurring, a solid, composed of an element or combination of elements, and has a crystalline structure. Many minerals contain carbon. Graphite, the mineral, is also pure carbon but with a different crystalline structure.
