A gem-stone quality diamond is valued by its cut, clarity, carat weight and colour.

Diamond is one allotrope carbon of where the carbon atoms are arranged in the specific type of cubic lattice called diamond cubic. Diamond is an optically isotropic crystal that is transparent to opaque.

Seventy-five percent or more of all diamonds mined are used by industry, because of the hardness of diamond.

What element is harder than a diamond?

Boron nitride is a synthetic material that is harder than diamond. It exhibits similar properties to diamond but has a higher hardness level.


Are the properties of diamond commensurate with the nature of bonding?

Yes, the properties of diamond are a direct result of its strong covalent bonding. The tetrahedral arrangement of carbon atoms in diamond creates a rigid and strong structure, making diamond the hardest naturally occurring material. This bonding also contributes to diamond's high melting point and exceptional thermal conductivity.
