Diamond Mystery

Millions of years ago in the ancient oceans had microorganisms that lived and died in the oceans. When the microorganisms died there bodies fell to the ocean floor.After that the bodies decompose, the carbon that was left was almost pure. The crust of the earth's surface is constantly moving. Movement is the result of plate tectonics and continental drift.

When one tectonic plate is pushed under other bodies of the microorganism, now carbon, is also buried under tons of rock. The carbon is subject to extreme pressures pushing the rock and the heat, usually between 1100 and 1400 degrees Celsius. If carbon is followed is pure colorless diamond is it normal for diamonds.When nitrogen or sulfur in coal is also included that the color can be added to the diamond.

This process preserves the unique crystal structure that the diamond is the hardest natural material known. The arrangement of atoms causes the diamonds of atoms are more stringent than any other substance in the world. When volcanoes erupt, sometimes a little ", the micro-organisms, which are diamonds, forced into service. Conventional diamonds are mined from explosive volcanic rocks lites (kimberlites) that transport them from depths exceeding 100 km per activity volcanic.

Man Made.

In 2004, scientists from the Carnegie Institution Geophysical Laboratory managed to produce gems that are harder than any other crystals. This man made diamonds were produced using a mixture of gases. The crystals produced were so strong that the instruments and accessories used to make them broken. Most of these diamonds is that man made are made in less than a day.

Posted pure carbon under enough heat and pressure, about 2200 degrees Fahrenheit and 50,000 atmospheres and crystallize in the hardest material known. This is a very simplistic and very difficult to do. Modern methods use a very complex process that requires the crystals to be grown with a high rate of growth of particular chemical vapor deposition. When the crystals were exposed to high pressure and temperature are difficult. There is a production of a chemical reaction that produces a shower of carbon called. The carbon atoms in the rain at the end of the same structure as the container or seed used to catch the rain of carbon. How are arranged in a tight composition, are transformed into artificial diamonds.

Most synthetic diamonds are yellow. This is due to chemicals used in the creation process. Synthetic diamonds are very difficult to distinguish natural. A trained jeweler could tell the difference if you are able to identify different patterns of growth and lack of inclusions. Included are small pieces of tissue usually embedded in a natural diamond and are considered an error. Calls for a certification to purchase a diamond for investment. Will tell you the carat weight of the stone, the color and brightness, and its flaws.
