Every diamond is a diamond: not every diamond is a blood diamond.

Blood diamonds earn their name based on how they are extracted from the earth, by whom and for what purpose. Blood diamonds are mined by humans at gun or knife point, aimed by rebels intent on financing mayhem to humans in the form of civil war, terrorism or other uncivil actions.

Can the existence of isotopes explain the differences in properties between diamond and graphite?

Yes, the differences in properties between diamond and graphite can be explained by the existence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, which can affect the atomic structure and bonding in materials. In the case of diamond and graphite, the arrangement of carbon atoms and the bonding configuration due to isotopes lead to their distinct properties.
