This use for diamonds is based on the requirement for the tip of the needle to conduct signals from the vinyl into the player's other components, and their ability to out-last all other options for needle tips.

What will happen if you bring two compasses next to each other?

If you bring two compasses next to each other, the magnetic fields of the compass needles will interact. The magnetic needles will align themselves in opposite directions, causing the compass needles to repel each other.


What is used to make compass needles because it is magnetic?

Compass needles are typically made from magnetized materials such as iron or steel. These materials are able to become magnetized and align with the Earth's magnetic field, allowing the compass needle to point north.


How much force is required to make coal into diamonds?

It requires significant pressure, around 725,000 pounds per square inch (psi), and temperatures of about 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (1,200 degrees Celsius) to convert coal into diamonds through a process called high-pressure, high-temperature synthesis. This process mimics the natural conditions in the Earth's mantle where diamonds are formed.


Why do diamonds shine and sparkle the way they do?

Diamonds shine and sparkle due to their high refractive index, which causes light to bounce around inside the diamond and reflect back to the viewer. This phenomenon is known as total internal reflection. Additionally, the diamond's crystal structure and facets play a role in dispersing light in a way that creates the characteristic sparkle.


Is it true that diamonds can never break?

Diamonds are the hardest mineral known. However, a flaw in a stone presents a weak spot, and if the stone is hit 'just right', the stone may fracture along the flaw. However, most diamonds are graded so that stones with visible flaws -- rated as Included -- (most susceptible to chipping or fracturing) are clearly identified, and would therefore be set in such a way so as to protect the stone.
