You can't. Simply cleaning a cut diamond will make it shiny. Jewelers often use ultrasonic baths with a cleaning solution to remove grease from diamond jewelery, but rubbing alcohol or even plain water will probably work nearly as well unless it's truly filthy.

What shines more than diamonds?

The 'shine' phenomenon that you describe is due to diamond's high (2.4) refractive index.You can look at the link below, to learn more about where diamond's refractive index fits on the list.In direct answer to your question, these materials have a higher refractive index:Moissanite, 2.65 - 2.69Cinnabar (Mercury sulfide), 3.02Gallium(III) phosphide, 3.5Gallium(III) arsenide, 3.927Silicon, 4.01Only moissanite in this list is suitable competition to diamond in the gemstone arena.


Is salt a diamond?

No, salt is not a diamond. Salt, chemically known as sodium chloride (NaCl), is an ionic compound made up of sodium and chloride ions. In contrast, diamond is a form of carbon (C) where the carbon atoms are arranged in a crystal lattice structure, giving it its characteristic hardness and brilliance. While both salt and diamond can form crystals, they are fundamentally different substances with distinct chemical properties.


Which diamond has the highest carat of shine?

This question doesn't quite make sense. A carat is a measure of the weight of the diamond, and measures nothing else at all. One carat = 200 mg or 1/5 of a gram. By 'shine' you probably mean brilliance; this can be measured by the return of light from the diamond. Clarity and colour both mean what they say, and don't really affect brilliance, which depends entirely on the cut. The cut which gives the most brilliance is known as the ideal cut.
