Your answer lies in the innate refraction characteristic of the mineral coupled with the angle of the cut which reflects the light back to the eye of the beholder.
The sparkling of a suitably cut diamond is caused by its ability to reflect and refract light through its facets. When light enters the diamond, it bounces off its facets and is dispersed in a way that creates a dazzling sparkle, known as brilliance and fire.
Diamonds sparkle due to their high refractive index and ability to reflect and refract light. When light enters a diamond, it is bent and dispersed, creating a sparkling effect known as "fire" within the stone. This play of light is enhanced by the precise cutting and polishing of the diamond's facets.
Depending on the diamond -- 75% of all diamonds mined are used for industrial purposes -- the diamond may be disposed of because it is 'used up'. Gem-quality diamonds, however aren't typically 'disposed of' -- although an emotional person may pitch a diamond away, it will always be valuable when re-discovered.
A diamond is a crystalline solid. It is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which gives it its hardness and clarity. This organized arrangement of atoms is characteristic of crystalline solids.
Diamonds are set in metal so that light can reach the stone and reflect/ refract out of the stone. Usually, the diamond is set with prongs, or at least secured into the jewelery with metal. When the metal prongs or setting pull away from the diamond -- for any reason -- the diamond can be lost from the setting.

"The less colour present in a diamond, the higher will be its colour grade. Colour will naturally manifest in the diamond as a pale yellow, and that is why colour grade refers to this lack of colour. The human eye detects the sparkle of a diamond first and then its colour. This is the reason that colour is usually considered the second most important characteristic, after cut."

Yes, this is the reason for diamond-tipped tools.
A certificate from a reputable jeweler or Diamond exchange are useful for resale or a insurance security. The value of a diamond will depend on fire, sparkle and brilliance -- the gleam of light that happens when a diamond ring moves , so that light enters the stone from different angles and is reflected back to you. You're also looking for color and clarity, which is harder to determine with the naked eye, These will increase the diamond's beauty.carbon spots in the diamond will decrease the value. For a reassurance reason please have a appraisal done on the diamond by a trusted jeweler or exchange appraiser. A GemEx report will help as well for a price.
The reason is its cut, the facets presented to light, which reflect as brilliance.
You haven't said "the same as" what. The speed of light in any substance is different from its speed in any other substance. In diamond, the speed of light depends somewhat on the wavelength ... a big part of the reason for the colorful sparkle of a diamond, enhanced by cutting the faces at just the proper angles, consistent with the natural crystal structure of the material. Between the wavelengths of 400 - 750 nanometers, very roughly the range of the visible wavelengths, the speed of light in diamond ranges from 40.5% to 41.8% of its speed in vacuum.
you are trying to catch, it has good reason to flee!
Well, the reason why they built them near Thebes was to remind people that Pharaohs had extraordinary powers.
sorry you can't for some reason.
