The field test for diamond is extreme hardness. If you are not equipped to perform this test, a local jeweler can attach a probe to your stone, to determine whether or not it is a diamond.
Diamonds are processed through various stages, including mining to extract rough diamonds from the earth, sorting to separate diamonds based on quality and size, cutting and shaping to enhance their brilliance and maximize their value, and finally polishing to achieve a smooth, shiny surface. These processed diamonds are then graded, certified, and sold in the market for use in jewelry and other luxury goods.
The Kimberley Process helps prevent the trade of conflict diamonds by implementing strict regulations on the sourcing and trading of rough diamonds. This helps to promote ethical practices in the diamond industry, protect human rights, and prevent the financing of armed conflicts through the sale of diamonds.
Diamonds are mined in the same way any other raw material is extracted from the earth, using digging equipment, large trucks and sorting strategies which separates the desired material from the composite. Raw diamonds are not purified, but once fashioned by a diamond cutter can be enhanced to 'bring out' the colour of the diamond. Enhanced diamonds are less expensive than naturally coloured diamonds.
Diamonds are mined from the earth, and in the mining process the diamond stones are separated from the other material. Seventy-five to eighty percent of diamonds are graded as industrial diamonds, and sold in bulk as bort to makers of diamond-coated tools and precision instruments. The raw, gem-quality stones are moved to a sorting process, where like stones are grouped, and where larger stones are separated out for special treatment in order to maximize their value. Once a stone reaches the cutting table, it follows a series of steps, including "...planning, cleaving or sawing, bruting, polishing, and final inspection."
No, diamonds cannot be made out of ticila as ticila is a type of clay mineral, while diamonds are formed from carbon under extremely high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's crust.
Rough Diamonds was created in 1981-03.
Uncut diamonds that come from within the earth can have rough edges. Sometimes they are called 'rough' diamonds: more commonly raw diamonds, because they have not been cut and polished into gemstones.
When mined or found, uncut diamonds are called rough or raw diamonds.
Rough diamonds are weighed in carats. One carat equals .20 grammes.

Rough diamonds can be separated from the surrounding materials by water, by tumbling or by crushing. This is the first step in processing mine materials containing diamonds. You can read more about these processes, below.

Diamonds come out of the ground looking like rough, unpolished crystals. They may appear cloudy, dull, and in various shapes such as octahedral or cubic. The raw diamonds have a rough texture and must be cut and polished to reveal their natural sparkle and beauty.
