Diamonds are a mineral composed of translucent crystalline carbon, and are the hardest known natural substance in the world. Diamonds can be almost any color, from the most common colors of yellow and brown, to orange, green, blue, gray, black, purple, pink, and the exceptionally rare red. It is, of course, the colorless diamonds that, once cut and polished, are highly valued as gemstones.
Only 20% are all mined diamonds are suitable for gems. The other 80%, those imperfectly colored or flawed, are used for a wide variety of industrial purposes such as in drill bits and engraving tools. Others are crushed and used as an abrasive powder.
Diamonds are formed over 100 miles below the surface of the Earth, some from as far as 400 miles deep. They come to the surface via the eruption of volcanoes. Original diamonds were not mined, they were found along riverbeds; where the water slowly ate away at the stone in which they were embed.
