History of Diamonds
Approximately 130 million diamonds are mined annually, with a total value of nearly USD $9 billion, and about 100,000 kg are synthesized annually. Diamonds are specifically renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities; they make excellent abrasives because they can be scratched only by other diamonds, borazon, ultrahard fullerite, rhenium diboride, or aggregated diamond nanorods, which also means they hold a polish extremely well and retain their lustre.
Diamonds are the hardest known naturally occurring mineral. It is possible to treat regular diamonds under a combination of high pressure and high temperature to produce diamonds that are harder than the diamonds used in hardness gauges. Presently, only aggregated diamond nanorods, a material created using ultrahard fullerite is confirmed to be harder, although other substances such as cubic boron nitride, rhenium diboride and ultrahard fullerite itself are comparable. In mineralogy, diamond is the allotrope of carbon where the Carbon atoms are arranged in an isometric-hexoctahedral crystal lattice. It is the second most stable form of Carbon. Its hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.
