A diamond is made of the element carbon and is extremely dense. The covalent bonds that link each carbon chain cause this density.
Because a diamond is so dense, the light that hits it is actually slowed down. This phenomenon, along with the refraction inducing every color in the rainbow, allows one to see a diamond "sparkle" from long distances.
