Refraction and reflection both contribute to the sparkle you see in a diamond.
Diamonds naturally have a high refractive index, meaning they are 'light friendly'. This property makes diamonds sparkle under any available light: moonlight, starlight, flashlight, firelight and so forth.
A well-cut diamond also has reflective qualities: the diamond cutter designed the cut so that light taken in from any facet reflects on other facets and back into the eye of the beholder.

Particles from the sun enter the ionosphere near the north pole where they strike oxygen and nitrogen atoms which causes them to glow this event is called?
The event is called the aurora borealis or the northern lights. When particles from the sun enter the Earth's atmosphere near the north pole and interact with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the ionosphere, it results in a beautiful light display in the sky.
The aurora boreails is caused by the?
When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.
What are pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet called?
Pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet are called meteorites.
What do electrically charged particles from the sun strike in the earth's magnetosphere to lead to the production of the sheets of light known auroras?
They strike the magnetic field generated by the Earth.

Are more or less guts better on a diamond?
When it comes to diamond cuts, it's not about one cut being inherently better than the other; rather, it depends on what you value most in a diamond. Shallow cuts may offer a subtle sparkle, while deep cuts showcase depth and brilliance. Ideal cuts strike a balance, maximizing light reflection and brilliance from within. Ultimately, the "best" cut is subjective and depends on your personal preferences, budget, and desired aesthetic. Whether you prefer a dazzling sparkle or a more understated elegance, there's a perfect diamond cut to match your unique style and taste.

What does a hard stone do on diamond?
You might be asking whether or not you could damage a diamond using a hard stone. With that assumption, here is one answer. If you strike the diamond 'just right' and the diamond has an inclusion or flaw along a stress point that you happened to hit 'just right' with the large stone, you may be able to damage the diamond. Otherwise, a diamond is the hardest mineral known. And because of its value, you might not want to experiment with one using a large stone to damage it.
Can you break a diamond with a stone?
You may be able to accomplish this if you are willing to sacrifice a gemstone. In this case, you must strike the diamond at **exactly** the right spot in order to separate the diamond along its crystal plane. You may be able to accomplish this action more easily if you choose to take a stone to an industrial diamond, which has much less value than a gemstone, is flawed and lacks the more solid, extended crystal plane.
