Pure diamond is unique in that it is a gemstone composed of a single element, carbon. However, most white diamonds contain trace amounts of nitrogen, with less than 2% of natural white diamonds having no nitrogen. So, speaking of pure diamond, it is not a mixture, but in reality, most white diamonds do contain trace impurities of nitrogen (less than 1% however).

How do you separate iodine crystals from diamond?

Iodine crystals can be separated from diamond by using sublimation. Iodine can be sublimated at a low temperature, converting it from a solid to a gas without melting. This allows the iodine to be collected as a gas, leaving behind the diamond.
