No.
You can read more about ionic crystals, below.
No, diamonds are not ionic compounds. Diamonds are made entirely of carbon atoms covalently bonded to each other in a crystal lattice structure. Ionic compounds are formed when atoms of different elements are held together by ionic bonds, in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Diamond is a crystal in which all carbon atoms are covalently bonded to each other in a three-dimensional arrangement. This structure gives diamond its exceptional hardness and transparency.
When you pound an ionic crystal with a hammer, the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together are disrupted, causing the crystal to shatter.
No, quartz diamond crystal and diamond settings in wedding rings are not the same. Quartz diamond crystal refers to a naturally occurring quartz crystal with diamond-like inclusions, while diamond settings in wedding rings are the metal prongs or setting that hold a genuine diamond in place. The two are different in composition and purpose.
Ionic compounds tend to form a crystal lattice structure.
A mineral crystal is not necessarily a diamond, but a diamond is a mineral crystal. All minerals, such as diamond, have crystalline structures.

diamond is covalent, Iodine, crystal. In ice each each molecule is hydrogen bonded to 4 other molecules. sodium and chloride form an ionic bond, to make NaCl, or table salt.
Crystal
Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.

A crystal structure, or lattice maybe? Like diamond? or maybe an ionic crystaline structure as in Sodium Chloride...

Take your crystal to a local jeweler who can use a probe to help you determine whether or not your crystal is a diamond.
When positive ions and negative ions are nearby they are attracted and pair up building an Ionic Crystal.
