Part Eight IMPORTANT DIAMOND PROPERTIES The physical properties of diamond are certainly the most remarkable among gemstones; in fact the most unusual in all the mineral kingdom. Although diamond is composed entirely of carbon (one of the lightest elements) its density is relatively high. It is by far, the hardest known natural substance, remarkable clarity (purity) and great ability to reflect, and break up white light into colours: It is the strong atomic structure, of the carbon atoms, that are responsible. for diamonds" unique. properties. Diamond has la* of affinity for water. The only thing that will adhere to diamond are greasy sub- stances such as greasy water. 1f a crystalline material breaks or splits along plane (flat) surfaces, it is said to possess cleavage. Within the orderly arrangement of atoms, of a diamond crystal, there are certain directions of cleavage. It is this property that sometimes leads to damage of a diamond. Prior to the discovery of the saw, cleaving was used in the fashioning of rough diamond crystals. A fracture is a breakage of a mineral along any direction other than a cleavage plane (an irregular break). This is often seen, when a diamond has a very thin girdle (edge) that has been chipped, as a result from a blow. Toughness refers to the ease with which a break of any kind may be, produced in a substance. Even though diamond possesses cleavage, it is exceptionally tough. HARDNESS is the resistance that a smooth surface offers to scratching and is related to the crystal structure. Hardness may vary in direction, and this enables the diamond cutter to polish or grind diamond with diamond. Diamond is , the hardest natural substance and con- trary to reports, diamond is actually, many times harder than its nearest neighbor, ° corundum (ruby or sapphire) (as much as 140, times bar= der). Colour, luster, brilliance, tillation are optical properties. that give diamond its ex- ceptional and unique beauty, and each one is related to light. It is because of diamond's physical charac- teristics that give its optical phenomena. Its ability to bend (refract) light strongly and high dispersion, resulting in spectral colours, along with a very high degree of tran- sparency. The luster of a fine polish results from diamond's hardness and gives rise to the Adamantine luster and beauty, duplicated in no other material. Due to the high luster possible and the other optical properties, diamond is the most . sparkle, or thebrilliant flashesgemof lightThe, from facets of a diamond is known as scintillation. All the unique physical and optical properties of diamond are responsible for its beauty, which MUST be brought out by the diamond cutter, to the fullest. part nine...next week... David C.
