A diamond is created when soot or coal is subjected to intense heat and pressure for a long period of time. What this does is rearrange the molecular structure of the coal, creating a new one which is what we call diamond. This different structure is also called an allotrope of coal in case you were wondering. Now the process of of heat and pressure is the same that changes metamorphic rocks, so in a very base (and probably wrong) sense I would called the changing process metamorphsis.

Why does rhodium plating stick to black diamonds?

Rhodium, a precious metal, adheres well to black diamonds due to its durability, resistance to tarnishing, and bright white color which enhances the appearance of the dark diamonds. The plating process involves electroplating the rhodium onto the surface of the diamond, creating a strong and enduring bond.


What is the name of the diamond certification scheme which works to prevent blood diamonds from conflict zones?

The diamond certification scheme that works to prevent blood diamonds from conflict zones is called the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). It is an international initiative that aims to regulate the trade of rough diamonds to ensure they are not used to finance rebel groups and conflict.


Are diamonds cut by laser or by diamonds?

Both ways: can be cut by laser or sawn. Laser cut is more accurate and precise. Diamonds are cut according to a plan that is designed to preserve the best qualities of the raw stone, usually it's colour and clarity. The planned cut, then maximizes the highest carat weight for the raw stone. Typically, more than 50% of the raw stone is lost in this process: removed as 'waste'.


Process of thread making called?

The process of creating a thread is called "thread spinning." This involves passing fibers through a spinning machine to twist and bind them together to form a continuous strand of thread.


What is the process called when the mantle pushes plates?

The process is called mantle convection. This is when the heat from Earth's core causes the mantle to slowly flow, creating currents that can push and move the tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.

What is the system that is used to stop the trading of conflict diamonds?

The system is called the Kimberly Process.


What process do diamonds go through?

Diamonds go through a process called mining, where they are extracted from deep within the Earth's crust. Once mined, the diamonds are sorted, cut, and polished to enhance their brilliance and shape. Finally, the diamonds are graded for quality and then set into jewelry or sold as loose stones.


How do caol and diamond differ?

Raw materials for coal and diamonds are the same. Buried dead plant material begins the process to coal. But the process for creating diamonds requires enormous pressures, so diamonds are formed at extreme depths (over 90 miles underground). Volcanos bring the diamonds to the surface or at least to depths where mining is practical. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond

What countries do Zales get their diamonds from?

Zales obtain their diamonds from all over the world. However, they follow a strict policy concerning conflict diamonds. They follow a process called the Kimberly process to assure that diamonds they purchase are not coming from countries that use the income to help fund war or cause human abuses. See the related link below for more information on Zales stance on conflict diamonds and the Kimberly process.


How are diamonds formed naturally and what is the process behind their creation?

Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature conditions. Carbon atoms are arranged in a crystal lattice structure, creating the hard and transparent properties of diamonds. Over millions of years, volcanic eruptions bring diamonds closer to the Earth's surface, where they can be mined.

What is a cluster of diamonds called?

Loose diamonds are called loose diamonds. When set as a group, the term may describe the setting more than the stones, i.e., pave, which is a 'pavement' of diamond stones. Otherwise multiple diamonds are simply called diamonds.


How are diamonds found manufactured in Southern Africa?

Southern African countries are known for mined diamonds, not manufactured diamonds. Sometimes the process of cutting and polishing raw stones is called 'manufacturing', in which case most of this work is completed currently in India, not Southern Africa.
