Diamonds

Milk is NOT made in factories, it is produced by living animals (mammals) to feed their young.

Yes, under laboratory conditions, this is possible.

Professor of High Pressure Physics Malcolm I. McMahon from Edinburgh University has published on it. It has to do with lab conditions and extreme compression. He has a setup where he uses two other diamonds to form compression points. They are not gem quality... They are saying for now, they are only useful for industrial needs if they ever produce on a wide scale.

It might be possible to change peanut butter into diamond, but it would probably have to be done in a lab. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is formed in an environment of heat and great pressure. We can make diamonds by the compression of carbon around a diamond "seed" in a huge press that is heated. But heating peanut butter to "reduce" it to carbon would probably result in it burning (if it was done in air), or pyrolizing (if it was done away from air). The first would allow the carbon to "get away" and the latter would see it form compounds that would "resist" allowing the carbon to form diamond crystals.

If we treated the peanut butter chemically to isolate the carbon, we could use that to create a diamond in the press we mentioned before. This question might be designed to cause a student to think about peanut butter, specifically about the chemistry of this substance. There is a fair amount of carbon in peanut butter, but it is chemically chained up with other elements to make up organic molecules. Heating and compressing peanut butter without isolating the carbon would probably just make a mess in the press. But the carbon in peanut butter is the same as the carbon in a diamond. Carbon is carbon. It's just that in diamond, the atoms of carbon have been forced into lattice, and it takes a lot of heat and pressure to make that happen.

I have a milkglass rabbit that is about 8 inches long and opens with half the body as the cover. What is it all about?

Blue diamonds are very rare and very expensive. In order for them to be real blue they must be found naturally and color enhanced blue diamond is treated with heat and chemicals. If you are looking for authentic blue diamond’s then make sure the diamond is certified which will also indicate whether the diamond is natural or not. It all depends on the 4 C’s; cut, carat weight and clarity. You will need to do some research in order to decide what to buy.

I don't think theres away? unless u buy VIP on MSP! Please add meI'm Aleana513 and I'm not Anonymous Ooh btw there a Anonymousn on MSP but thats a whole different story lol!

A stimulated diamond is not a widely recognized term or concept in the field of diamonds or gemology. However, it may refer to a synthetic or lab-grown diamond.

Synthetic diamonds are created in a laboratory under controlled conditions that simulate the natural process of diamond formation. These diamonds have essentially the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties as natural diamonds. They are often referred to as lab-grown diamonds, cultured diamonds, or man-made diamonds.

The term "stimulated" may be used to emphasize that the synthetic diamond is produced in a controlled environment to stimulate or mimic the natural conditions required for diamond formation. Synthetic diamonds have gained popularity in recent years due to advancements in technology, and they offer an alternative to natural diamonds for those who prefer a more ethically and environmentally conscious choice.

It's important to note that synthetic diamonds are distinct from diamond simulants, such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, which are materials that imitate the appearance of diamonds but have different chemical compositions and physical properties.

Diamond is made of carbon that has been compresseed in a way that makes it very hard and difficult to wear. it is used for cutting tools because it is harder than most things you will be cutting.

Any diamond is valued by its cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. Blue diamonds are the most rare of the naturally coloured stones. It is possible to treat a diamond and turn its colour to blue, but this fact must accompany the sale of any such stone.

A natural blue diamond of just over seven carats in weight sold at auction for more than US eight million dollars, setting a record. (Link, below.)

Smaller and especially irradiated or treated diamonds will sell for much less.

A local gemologist can evaluate your diamond and document its value.

go to your local jeweller

Imitation diamonds or fake diamonds are also known as faux diamonds. Or "simulant" as used by the industry insiders. It refers to materials, such as CZ, that look like another gem.

I cannot. It takes geologic time, heat, and pressure to metamorphose coal into diamond(s).

The related link below will guide you through one of the moderately challenging methods of artificially producing diamonds from coal.

Yes, generally. Because, with age, most every commodity appreciates in value over time.

If you are holding a diamond for investment purposes, please take it to a certified gemologist who will help you document the quality of the stone. Then put the stone in a safe deposit box, and over time, research the value of similar stones.

If you want to buy an investment-grade stone, shop around to find the best stone at the lowest price. Again, get a certificate of the stone's value and put it away.

It may take 10 or 20 years to see an appreciable increase in any diamond's value, but generally, its value will increase with age.

You can always sell it to a pawn shop or other similar dealer, but your best price will come via selling it to another person directly.

The value of diamond is calculated on the basis of 4 C's - cut, clarity, color and carat weight. So it is better to take it to a professional jeweler who will check these 4 qualities and evaluate the cost of your diamond. If you try to sell it to a pawn shop, there are chances of not getting a fair deal for it. So try selling it to some reputable jeweler who is in business of buying gold, diamond, and estate jewelry.

Diamonds are cut by diamond cutters who are trained to plan the cut, execute it, and then cut facets into the stone and finally polish it.

You can watch a video, below, and learn more from the Wikipedia link, also below.

Some estimate that the diamond could be valued anywhere between 200 and 250 million dollars US, due to its intensely interesting history and its overwhelming size, beauty and rarity.

Note, however, that this gem is not for sale.

Diamonds from any source are transported in secret, under high security and are highly unlikely to be detectable among a group of commercial transport paradigms.

You can read more about the mine, below.

A diamond style table skirt can be made by gathering fabric around the table and allowing to drape to the floor. Then scissors can be used to cut triangles or diamonds from the bottom of the skirt as high as you want.

The only way to answer this questions is to first find out the quality of the diamond you're asking about. A diamond that is a D (completely colorless) IF (Internally flawless) will go for much more than an H (near-colorless) SI2 (slightly included) diamond per carat.

Most people stick with a GH color and SI1 or SI2 clarity because you can get more "bang for your buck" in this range. I went ahead and checked out some prices for diamonds under these conditions and this is what I found.

They could range anywhere from $2500 to $7200. There is a large difference in price due to other factors such as the symmetry, polish, girdle thickness, and presence of any flourescence. This should give you a good idea though of the range of the cost per carat.

The link at the bottom is where I found the price information. If you want to get a better idea, just play around with the options on this page in terms of size, color, clarity, cut and price.

Platinum is more dense and so more of it is required to make a ring, platinum rings for e.g. are usually 95% pure platinum. It is usually no longer coated with rhodium. White gold is yellow gold that is mixed with other metals and yellow gold is made in the same way, and the difference is only in the metals used. In order to make the gold white, it is combined with metal alloys that are white in nature and plated with an extremely hard element called rhodium.

It depends on the model, and if it is a men's or ladies' watch, but the range is $1 000.00 to $15,400.00 for this year's models.

On the Fancy Diamonds site, we found a .81 carat natural Fancy Green diamond with a VS1 clarity listed for about US$45,000.

If you have a green diamond to sell, best practices dictate that you pay for a certificate from the GIA organization, to verify that your diamond is a natural green stone. The certificate, as well, will verify the carat weight, the cut and the clarity of the stone. With these details, you can value your stone.
