One answer could be the inexperience of the diamond viewer. Another is that many diamonds are no bigger than a grain of rice, also their color can be missed against the natural color of the ground.

The field test for diamond is 'extreme hardness'. As well only about 25% of natural diamonds are of gem-stone quality, so the other 75% of diamonds found will not appear to possess a natural clarity or colour commonly associated with gem-stone quality rocks.

What is natural diamond?

A natural diamond is one that is mined from the earth. One that is grown in a laboratory would not be a natural diamond.


How would you distinguish a natural diamond from a synthetic diamond?

If you are not a jeweler than the best way is to ask for gemological report at GIA, EGL, IGI. Which will confirm the origin of diamond and it's characteristics. For more information on synthetic diamond follow my link below.


What a geologist consider a manufacture diamond to be what a geologist consider a manufactured diamond to be a mineral mineral?

A geologist would not consider a manufactured diamond, or synthetic diamond, to be a mineral in the traditional sense. While both natural and manufactured diamonds share the same chemical composition (carbon) and crystal structure, minerals are typically defined as naturally occurring substances. Since manufactured diamonds are created through human processes, they do not meet the criteria of being naturally formed and therefore are classified separately from natural minerals.


Which non metal is very hard?

One non-metal that is very hard is diamond. Diamond is made of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure, making it the hardest known natural material.


Would you rather buy natural or artificial diamonds?

Your answer depends on why you buy a diamond. If you're buying a diamond for an investment, you'll want the highest carat weight in the 'best' colour (your choice), with the finest clarity and cut that you can afford. This stone will have mighty bling value as well. If you're buying a diamond for its bling value alone, you can purchase a diamond quite similar to the high-investment quality diamond that is a fabricated diamond and pay less for it. It will always have less value than a natural diamond.

Which is stronger tungsten or titanium or diamond?

Diamond is the hardest natural mineral. Your question implies strength, not hardness. Strength implies molecular cohesion. You could devise an experiment to pull a diamond apart, but it would be a nearly impossible experiment, because anything you attach to a diamond would not be strong enough to effectively pull the diamond apart.


What would happen if you rub a diamond across a piece of glass?

The diamond, being one of the hardest natural materials, will likely scratch the glass surface due to its superior hardness. Conversely, the glass would not be able to scratch the diamond due to the diamond's hardness.


Which jewel is the hardest known-to-man?

Diamond is the hardest known natural material on Earth, scoring a 10 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.


Are created diamonds better than real diamonds?

I would not think there is any difference and that is an opinion.... looking at the facts i would say natural diamonds and they are both real....... but ... my opinion is that natural is better.Another Answer'Better' is relative.You will pay more and make more at the time of sale for a natural diamond than you will from a created diamond. So if your 'better' means 'more valuable', then natural diamonds are 'better'.


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.
