What are two mineral characteristics that differ between herkimer diamonds and true diamonds?
Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals found in Herkimer County, New York, while true diamonds are carbon-based minerals. Herkimer diamonds have a lower hardness rating (7.5) compared to true diamonds (10). Additionally, herkimer diamonds are typically clear or smoky in color, whereas true diamonds exhibit a range of colors depending on impurities.
Is a diamond submetallic?
Yes, diamonds are considered submetallic because they exhibit a high luster similar to that of metals, but they do not have the properties of a true metal. Diamonds are made of carbon and are the hardest known natural substance.
What do diamonds smell like?
Diamonds do not have an odor.
Why does coal turn into diamonds?
Coal and diamonds are both made of carbon atoms arranged in different crystal structures. Diamonds form deep within the Earth's mantle at high pressure and temperature conditions, causing the carbon atoms to form a tightly packed crystal lattice that gives diamonds their hardness and brilliance. On the other hand, coal forms from the compression and fossilization of plant material under much lower pressure and temperature conditions, resulting in its different structure and properties.
Are chocolate diamonds the same as regular diamonds?
No, chocolate diamonds are a marketing term used by Le Vian to describe brown diamonds. They are still real diamonds but have a distinct brown color due to the presence of nitrogen impurities. Regular diamonds can come in a variety of colors but are most commonly white or colorless.

How are diamonds involved in trade?
Diamonds are products and are traded internationally through the distribution channels for diamonds. This is true whether the diamonds are industrial -- about 80% of all diamonds mined, or gem-quality stones.
Does diamonds swallow in sodium chloride?
No, it is not true.
Are diamonds finite?
Just as is true with any raw material, all natural resources are finite: natural diamonds are finite. However, man-made diamonds can be manufactured from carbon, which makes man-made diamonds potentially infinite.
What is the average size of a diamond?
Diamonds come in all sizes: 20% of which are gem-stone quality, the remainder are industrial diamonds. Most diamonds are tiny: gem-stone quality diamonds must be larger than most diamonds found, because of their use. Gem-quality diamonds must be visible, which is not true for industrial diamonds. Your answer, then, by logic, dictates that most diamonds an average diamond is much smaller than a pea.
Who is joey diamonds girlfriend?

Is True Blood based on a true story?
That is a very good movie, i dont believe the movie is based on a true story. I do know that it was based upon the conflict diamonds, and the violence that went along in the movie. Its more to understand and help buyers avoid purchasing black market conflict diamonds.
