There are three forms of pure carbon: graphite, coal, and diamond.

All three can be made perfectly pure, although coal is usually the least pure when found in nature. All have some impurities when found in nature however.

All diamonds are 100% carbon, so all diamonds in that sense are pure.

However, diamonds can contain inclusions or flaws, that is incomplete or mal-formed crystals. Gem-quality diamonds are rated according to visible flaws -- under 10X magnification -- on this scale: Included, Very Slight, Very Very Slight, Flawless and Internally Flawless. The scale rankings, except for the flawless ratings are followed by a number, usually 1, 2 or 3, according to what's visible.
