Causes of diamonds
The full name of diamond in English: diamond. The rough stone is diamond. It is a simple crystal composed of carbon element formed under high pressure and high temperature in the deep earth. After strict screening, only about 5% of diamonds are cut into gem-quality diamonds.
Diamond characteristics
Diamond has a hardness of 10, which is the hardest mineral known in nature. At the same time, it is also very brittle and should not be impacted. Diamonds are lipophilic and hydrophobic. They will have no trace when exposed to water, and will be lingering when exposed to oil. The reason why they don’t flash after wearing for a long time is because they are stained with body oil. Diamonds have high thermal conductivity, breathe into natural diamonds, and the water mist on the diamond surface will evaporate significantly faster than similar substances. Using a pencil to draw on the diamond will leave no trace.
