What is the difference between diamond and diamond

Mineralogy is inherently a very fascinating and entertaining science. A lot of secrets are kept in nature, the clues to which have not been found so far. For example, many people believe that a diamond and a diamond are one and the same. Or there are also opinions that these are completely different stones. However, in this case, both judgments are wrong. We will tell you what is the difference between a diamond and a diamond, and also figure out which of them is more expensive.

Diamond and diamond - the difference

Diamond is a mineral that forms at very great depths under high pressure. With growth and various natural processes, the mineral itself is brought to the surface by volcanic magma during the formation of the so-called "explosion pipes". By itself, it does not look very attractive: more often cloudy, with various inclusions. However, the mineral has one important property - luminescence. This is a special optical effect, due to which the gem, under the influence of sunlight, begins to sparkle in a variety of shades. It is worth noting that in most cases the diamond is not painted in any color, it is transparent. However, in nature, colored crystals can form - absolutely unique works of nature. There are rare shades of the gem: pink, blue, green and even red.

A diamond is, in fact, a diamond that has been carefully processed, polished and tested for quality. It is often given a certain shape, which is called diamond. It most clearly manifests the natural, flawless radiance of the stone.

All diamonds are tested for several criteria:

• cutting method;
• the purity of the stone;
• shade;
• mass in carats.

It is only by all these characteristics that the perfection and ideality of the stone is established.

Thus, we can conclude that a diamond is a natural gem that is formed in the bowels of the earth. A diamond is a precious stone, a cut and polished diamond. All that unites them is the conditions of formation and composition. Also, to accurately see the difference, you can compare them by other characteristics:

• a diamond is not distinguished by indescribable beauty, while a diamond shines with all colors and has a perfect brilliance;
• a diamond is used only as an insert in jewelry, but its “parent” is used in other areas (medicine, watch and nuclear industry, microelectronics, etc.).

What is more valuable - a diamond or a diamond?

To measure the mass, a single measure was adopted - carat (0,2 grams). Natural diamonds weighing more than 15 carats are considered a huge rarity, and more than 100 - a unique find, which is almost impossible in nature. Any such mineral deserves world fame, its own name, and rightfully deserves a place in history.

However, answering the question: "Whose cost is higher?", it is definitely a diamond, if we consider them on the same parameters. Of course, a 100 carat diamond will cost a lot more than a 2 carat diamond. In addition, it is the raw gem that belongs to the most expensive stones in the entire jewelry industry and, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, is classified as a currency value.

In addition, the purchase of a precious stone is considered the best investment for the future, since its value has never fallen, but only increased. It is also considered the best gift, especially if you decide to make a lasting impression. A wedding ring encrusted with diamonds will become a family heirloom and will rightfully be passed down from generation to generation.
