The word diamond comes from the ancient Greek word for invincible since it is famous for its hardness. In fact, it is the hardest and most durable naturally forming material on the planet. The only object able to scratch a diamond is another diamond.
Because diamonds are naturally occuring substances they contain marks and irregularities. A truly flawless diamond is a very rare find. Diamonds are also found in a variety of colors, even though the most common is white. When chemicals are present in the atmosphere during diamond formation it can result in shades such as pink, blue, orange, green and yellow, which is the most common. The more intense the color, the more valuable the diamond will be.

Eighty percent of all diamonds mined today are used for industrial purposes. Two thousand tons of ore must be mined to yield a 2 carat rough diamond. After cutting, only 40-50% of the weight is retained for the polished stone. Cutting is done by making many facets or faces in the diamond to reflect light. A diamond in the rough has a cloudy appearance until it is cut and faceted.
