Diamonds are not typically conserved as they are naturally occurring minerals that are mined for various purposes. However, efforts are made to ensure responsible sourcing practices through initiatives like the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme to prevent conflict diamonds from entering the market and to promote ethical mining practices. Recycling and reusing diamonds in jewelry is another way to reduce the environmental impact of diamond mining.

What is the source of most of the diamonds that are used for industrial purposes?

Most industrial diamonds are synthetic, created in laboratories rather than being mined from the earth. These synthetic diamonds are specifically designed for industrial applications due to their hardness and durability.


How is diamonds and granite the same?

Diamonds and granite are both formed deep within the Earth's crust under high pressure and temperature. They are both composed of mineral elements, with diamonds being a crystalline form of carbon and granite being a mixture of different minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Both diamonds and granite are valued for their hardness, durability, and aesthetic appeal.


What do diamonds share with all minerals?

Diamonds share the property of being a naturally occurring crystalline solid with a definite chemical composition, as all minerals have. Additionally, diamonds are formed in the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature, which is a common process for many minerals.


A geologist would consider a manufactured diamond to be a real diamond?

A geologist would differentiate between a natural diamond -- formed by a geological process, and a synthetic diamond -- formed by a man-made process. Both diamonds are 'real diamonds'. Read more about synthetic diamonds, below.


Where do blood diamonds come from?

Primarily from Africa, where much of the low level mining is done by slave labour, captured in raids. Many of these people are killed, and their blood stains the river. Many of these slavery campaigns have their origin in inter-tribal fighting, and these wars are financed by the sale of these diamonds.

How valuable are chocolate diamonds compared to white diamonds?

All other measurements being equal, two diamonds of the same clarity, carat weight and cut, one being white and the other being brown, you'll pay more for a white diamond. Brown diamonds are the most common colour of diamond found, and one shade of this colour is called chocolate.


Why are diamonds clear?

Diamonds are clear because of their molecular structure, which allows light to pass through without being absorbed or scattered. This results in the transparency and brilliance that diamonds are known for.

Where are some of the most diamonds?

Truly, diamonds are everywhere. Above ground, you can find the 20% of mined diamonds as gemstones in jewelery stores and being worn by humans. The remaining 80% of mined diamonds -- industrial diamonds -- are in use as enhancements to tools. As well, since diamonds are formed below the earth's surface, there may be many more unmined diamonds there.


How can you look after diamonds so that you do not waste it?

'Wasting' diamonds is not as much of an issue as losing diamonds. One looks after a diamond by securing it, keeping track of it, and when not being worn, keeping it in a safe place.
