What is "diamond"?

Diamond is a precious and highly sought-after gemstone prized for its unique and beautiful quality. They are formed from carbon and are the hardest known natural material, making them extremely durable and resistant to scratching or wear. Diamonds are prized for their brilliance, fire, and scintillation, which refer to their ability to reflect light and produce dazzling displays of color and sparkle. Diamonds are often used in engagement rings and other high-end jewelry, and their value is based on a combination of factors, including size, clarity, color, and cut. They are also used in various industrial applications, such as cutting and polishing tools, due to their exceptional hardness and durability.
