Can machine-made diamonds be considered a minerals?
Not true minerals, as by definition, minerals are naturally occurring substances.To be a mineral it has to be a hard substance which fulfills the 4 requirements below:1. it has to be made by nature2. it has to have a crystal structure3. it has to have a chemical formula4. it cannot be made by man or plant or animalSince diamonds made in the laboratory are man-made they don't fulfill all of the requirements.No, because for something to be mineral, it has to be a naturally occurring, solid, inorganic, a definite chemical composition, and a crystal structure.Diamonds created in the laboratory are not naturally occurring.I don't think they are considered minerals
Why are diamonds made by people not considered minerals?
Diamonds made by people are not considered minerals because they are synthetic and do not occur naturally in the Earth's crust. To be classified as a mineral, a substance must be naturally occurring and have a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. Since synthetic diamonds are man-made and not formed through natural geological processes, they do not meet the criteria to be classified as minerals.
Can diamonds be made of helium and hydrogen?
This could be a trick question. A diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon. In stars, which are giant fusion engines, hydrogen is fused into helium, and helium is fused into carbon. In a round about way, yes, diamonds can be made of helium and hydrogen. The carbon can be compressed and heated in a supernova at the end of its life, and diamonds can form. The carbon has to be transformed into diamond. But they diamonds are very, very tiny. Some meteorites contain thousands of diamonds, but they are so small that it is hard to see them with an optical microscope.
Where on the Earth is a diamond formed?
