"Scientists estimate that about 50% of the moon's surface composition is oxygen, bound up in silicate minerals!"
Even with extensive study, there have been no reports of diamonds or crystals in moon soil.

No, there is no evidence to suggest that the moon Callisto has diamonds on its surface. Callisto is primarily composed of water ice and rock, and there is no known geological process that would lead to the formation of diamonds on this moon.
The moon itself has no halo.The apparent halo is caused by zillions of small ice crystals in our atmosphere. The halo is nothing but moonlight shining through and reflecting from these ice crystals.
Sometimes there is a lot of moisture in the air. The sunlight reflected from the moon lights up this moisture all around the moon. This appears to us as a ring around the moon. When the air, there is no visible ring.
This riddle describes ice. Diamonds and emeralds refer to its reflective appearance, lost by the moon and taken by the sun due to melting when exposed to sunlight.
A halo around the moon is a natural optical phenomenon caused by the refraction of moonlight through ice crystals in the atmosphere. The ice crystals act as prisms, bending the light and creating a ring or halo effect around the moon. This beautiful sight is often seen before or after a storm, indicating high-altitude cirrus clouds with ice crystals present.
Diamonds are formed in a crystalline structure from carbon. Not all crystals are formed from carbon; not all crystals are diamonds.
No they are crystals of an allotrope of Carbon.
Salt crystals may reflect light like a diamond, but salt crystals are not diamonds.
Crystals are solid materials with a regular, repeating atomic structure, whereas diamonds are a specific type of crystal composed of carbon atoms arranged in a diamond lattice structure. Diamonds are prized for their hardness and brilliance, while crystals can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and compositions beyond just carbon.
Swarovski earrings are not real diamonds, therefore there is no concern about conflict free diamonds. Swarovski jewelry is made from crystals, not diamonds.
Preferably as few as possible.
Diamonds come from deep within the earth, yes, a natural source.
No, there is no evidence to suggest that the moon Callisto has diamonds on its surface. Callisto is primarily composed of water ice and rock, and there is no known geological process that would lead to the formation of diamonds on this moon.
Swarovski crystals are a branded type of lead crystal that is made primarily of glass and lead and may also be coated with other materials. When comparing crystals to diamonds, they are commonly referred to as a diamond simulant. Simulants may look similar to a diamond, but do not possess the same properties. A diamond is formed from carbon and has a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale -- the hardest. Lead crystal is graded around 6-7, though both can scratch glass.
The cost of crystals can vary widely based on their type, quality, and rarity. On average, common crystals like amethyst or quartz can range from $10 to $50 per pound. However, rare or precious crystals such as diamonds or emeralds can cost thousands or even millions of dollars per pound.
