countries</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Diamond</b> is a <a href="/wiki/Allotropes_of_carbon" title="Allotropes of carbon">solid form of the element carbon</a> with its atoms arranged in a <a href="/wiki/Crystal_structure" title="Crystal structure">crystal structure</a> called <a href="/wiki/Diamond_cubic" title="Diamond cubic">diamond cubic</a>. Diamond as a form of carbon is a tasteless, odourless, strong, brittle solid, colourless in pure form, a poor conductor of electricity, and insoluble in water. Another solid form of carbon known as <a href="/wiki/Graphite" title="Graphite">graphite</a> is the <a href="/wiki/Chemical_stability" title="Chemical stability">chemically stable</a> form of carbon at <a href="/wiki/Standard_temperature_and_pressure" title="Standard temperature and pressure">room temperature and pressure</a>, but diamond is <a href="/wiki/Metastable" class="mw-redirect" title="Metastable">metastable</a> and converts to it at a negligible rate under those conditions. Diamond has the highest <a href="/wiki/Scratch_hardness" title="Scratch hardness">hardness</a> and <a href="/wiki/Thermal_conductivity" class="mw-redirect" title="Thermal conductivity">thermal conductivity</a> of any natural material, properties that are used in major industrial applications such as cutting and polishing tools. They are also the reason that <a href="/wiki/Diamond_anvil_cell" title="Diamond anvil cell">diamond anvil cells</a> can subject materials to pressures found deep in the Earth. </p><p>Because the arrangement of atoms in diamond is extremely rigid, few types of impurity can contaminate it (two exceptions are <a href="/wiki/Boron" title="Boron">boron</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nitrogen" title="Nitrogen">nitrogen</a>). Small numbers of <a href="/wiki/Lattice_defect" class="mw-redirect" title="Lattice defect">defects</a> or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) can color a diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange, or red. Diamond also has a very high <a href="/wiki/Refractive_index" title="Refractive index">refractive index</a> and a relatively high <a href="/wiki/Optical_dispersion" class="mw-redirect" title="Optical dispersion">optical dispersion</a>. </p><p>Most natural diamonds have ages between 1&#160;billion and 3.5&#160;billion years. Most were formed at depths between 150 and 250 kilometres (93 and 155&#160;mi) in the Earth's <a href="/wiki/Mantle_(geology)" title="Mantle (geology)">mantle</a>, although a few have come from as deep as 800 kilometres (500&#160;mi). Under high pressure and temperature, carbon-containing fluids dissolved various minerals and replaced them with diamonds. Much more recently (hundreds to tens of million years ago), they were carried to the surface in <a href="/wiki/Volcanic_eruption" class="mw-redirect" title="Volcanic eruption">volcanic eruptions</a> and deposited in <a href="/wiki/Igneous_rock" title="Igneous rock">igneous rocks</a> known as <a href="/wiki/Kimberlite" title="Kimberlite">kimberlites</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lamproite" title="Lamproite">lamproites</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Synthetic_diamond" title="Synthetic diamond">Synthetic diamonds</a> can be grown from high-purity carbon under high pressures and temperatures or from <a href="/wiki/Hydrocarbon" title="Hydrocarbon">hydrocarbon</a> gases by <a href="/wiki/Chemical_vapor_deposition" title="Chemical vapor deposition">chemical vapor deposition</a> (CVD). <a href="/wiki/Diamond_simulant" title="Diamond simulant">Imitation diamonds</a> can also be made out of materials such as <a href="/wiki/Cubic_zirconia" title="Cubic zirconia">cubic zirconia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Silicon_carbide" title="Silicon carbide">silicon carbide</a>.

Diamonds are extremely hard, but also brittle and can be split up by a single blow. Therefore, diamond cutting is traditionally considered as a delicate procedure requiring skills, scientific knowledge, tools and experience. Its final goal is to produce a faceted jewel where the specific angles between the facets would optimize the diamond luster, that is dispersion of white light, whereas the number and area of facets would determine the weight of the final product. The weight reduction upon cutting is significant and can be of the order of 50%.<sup id="cite_ref-x50_109-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-x50-109"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>109<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Several possible shapes are considered, but the final decision is often determined not only by scientific, but also practical considerations.

This test is destructive, as a diamond can scratch another diamond, and is rarely used nowadays. Instead, diamond identification relies on its superior thermal conductivity. Electronic thermal probes are widely used in the gemological centers to separate diamonds from their imitations. These probes consist of a pair of battery-powered <a href="/wiki/Thermistor" title="Thermistor">thermistors</a> mounted in a fine copper tip. One thermistor functions as a heating device while the other measures the temperature of the copper tip: if the stone being tested is a diamond, it will conduct the tip's thermal energy rapidly enough to produce a measurable temperature drop. This test takes about two to three seconds.<sup id="cite_ref-154" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-154"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>154<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Whereas the thermal probe can separate diamonds from most of their simulants, distinguishing between various types of diamond, for example synthetic or natural, irradiated or non-irradiated, etc., requires more advanced, optical techniques.

Those potentially synthetic diamonds require more investigation in a specialized lab.
