About DiamondHide

Formula:

As a Commodity:

Diamond

Colour:

Colourless, yellowish to yellow, brown, black, blue, green or red, pink, champagne-tan, cognac-brown, lilac (very rare)

Lustre:

Adamantine, Greasy

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

3.5 - 3.53

Crystal System:

Isometric

Name:

From Greek "adamas", 'invincible'. First known use by Manlius (A.D. 16) and Pliny (A.D. 100).

Polymorph of:

Chaoite, Graphite, Lonsdaleite, Tartarosite, UM2003-04-E:C

Diamond is the hardest natural substance known. It is formed deep in the mantle and is only brought to the surface via kimberlite pipes, lamprophyres, eclogites and other rocks that originate deep within the mantle. It is also found in alluvial deposits, along with quartz, corundum, zircon and other minerals, derived from such rocks, and in certain meteorites.

The formation processes of the variety carbonado are unclear.

The ballas variety is spherical in shape and has a number of modes of formation (Pavlushin et al. 2021).

The coexistence of diamond and carbonate minerals in mantle eclogites is explained by the reaction: dolomite + 2(coesite) -> <- diopside + 2(diamond) + 2O₂ (Luth, 1993).

Micro- and nanodiamonds in ureilites are shown to be formed due to impact shock phenomena taking place on some small planetesimals.

Geological EnvironmentHide

Paragenetic Mode(s):

Paragenetic Mode	Earliest Age (Ga)
Pre-terrestrial "Ur-minerals"	>4.57
1 : Stellar atmosphere condensates
Stage 2: Planetesimal differentiation and alteration	4.566-4.550
6 : Secondary asteroid phases	4.566-4.560
Near-surface Processes
26 : Hadean detrital minerals
30 : Terrestrial impact minerals
Stage 5: Initiation of plate tectonics	<3.5-2.5
38 : Ophiolites

Geological Setting:

Deep mantle-derived rocks such as kimberlites, lamprophyres, and others. With decreasing pressure, the diamonds dissolve back into the rock. To occur and survive in a metastable state at the surface they must arrive from depth quickly and very often crystals show dissolution features because the transport to the surface is not quick enough.
Since diamond is extremely hard, it survives in alluvia.

Varieties of DiamondHide

Ballas	An old name for a variety of diamond/bort.
Bort	A black variety of diamond. Diamond material that is unsuitable for gems because of its shape, size, or color and because of flaws or inclusions. It also occurs in finely crystalline aggregates and is usually crushed into finer material. See also ballas,...
Carbonado	A massive (polycrystalline), porous, opaque, gray, brown, or black variety of diamond used as an abrasive and in rock drills. Five different theories for the formation of carbonado have been discussed (cf. Sautter et al., 2011). See also the varieties ...
Framesite	A variety of black bort from South Africa showing minute brilliant points possibly due to included diamonds.
Nano-Polycrystalline Diamond	Nano-Polycrystalline Diamond (or NPD) is a completely transparent, polycrystalline synthetic consisting of randomly oriented, very tightly bonded nanoscale-sized diamond crystallites. Using a sintering process, the material is created in a multi-anvil p...
Stewartite (of Sutton)	A magnetic, ferrouginous variety of Diamond (bort) [Clark, 1993 - "Hey's Mineral Index"]. Originally reported from Kimberley pipe, Kimberley, Northern Cape Province, South Africa.
