WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LABORATORY-MADE DIAMONDS AND NATURAL RAW DIAMOND

Diamonds are the master of gemstones, and no stone can compete with them at all. Raw diamond has been known since ancient times as one of the stones of commercial value. The popularity of diamonds increased in the nineteenth century with the increase in global production. The improvement of trade routes around the world and the entry of scientific methods in cutting and polishing. The global monopoly of this commodity by some companies. Head of pipes for drilling deep wells such as water, petroleum, and natural gas. In addition to its uses in electronic devices, medical devices, industrial equipment, glass cutting, and others.

REASON FOR CALLING:

The word ( diamond ) derives from the ancient Greek word “Adamas”. Which means hardness and “impossible” for its hardness. It is the most famous among the group of jewelry and precious stones.

As for the origin of the word “diamond” in the Arabic language. It did not come from the adjective (the subject of adaptation). But rather came from a quotation and distortion from the Greek word as a noun. As it came in the dictionaries of the Arabic language. For the mother to converge her image and exits and harmony when pronouncing and when speaking.

ABOUT DIAMONDS

Diamonds are formed when carbon (coal) is exposed to heat and very high pressure under the layers of the earth. The formation begins, according to scientific theories. At a depth of one hundred and fifty kilometers under the layer of the continents. Then carries the lava emitted and ejected during the explosion and volcanic eruption. Under the pressure of the earth’s internal pressure and very high temperature, rivers of the lava flow in the womb of the earth for great distances, carrying diamonds with them. Which is the only stone among all precious stones consisting of (one element).

A raw diamond is an allotrope of carbon with a cubic crystal structure and takes double forms for that cubic structure with eight faces. These, in turn, are connected to four other rats, and thus woven carbon bonds are built. Either in graphite or charcoal, not unlike the carbon bonds between the rats.

All its properties have a right angle, six angles, eight angles, or more. If it is broken, it will only break a triangle on the least parts.

Most of the diamonds are extracted from volcanic craters, where the lava that brings them from the depths of the earth throws them.

South Africa, Canada, Australia, and India are among the most important locations in the world rich in diamonds.

Great efforts have been made to manufacture diamonds in the laboratory. On 15 Shait in 1995, the General Electric Company in New York, America, announced that it had reached the manufacture of diamonds in the laboratory. By exposing a carbon material under high pressure, 1500000 pounds/inch. The temperature of 5000 degrees Fahrenheit and the experiments were repeated more than a hundred times until they succeeded. But they left the work because of the high costs that cost more than the price of a natural raw diamond. But in our time, new methods have been discovered to produce diamonds in the laboratory. Which is the CVD method, which is the method of chemical vapor deposition. As it is used in chemical vapor deposition on a small piece of diamond. It is a modern process for the growth of diamonds under low pressure and at a lower temperature. Then the previous method and scientists can watch and control it. The second method, HPHT, is carried out using a vacuum chamber filled with hydrogen gas or methane gas as a carbon source.

HOW TO CHECK THE ORIGINAL DIAMOND

Many ask, about how to ensure the authenticity of the stone when buying expensive stones. Such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and others. I say that the best and safest way for the buyer to reassure him is to ask the seller for a laboratory authentication certificate.

But here are some of the methods used to examine diamonds in principle

* Scratch Test: Diamond is the hardest substance on earth. So it can scratch glass or any other material easily and without being affected.

* Electricity conduction test: Diamond is a good conductor of electricity. This can be confirmed by the Diamond Selector ll device. Which is widely available in the markets and goldsmiths' shops.

Fire test: Because of the formative nature of diamonds. Which are subjected to high pressure and heat. Exposing the diamond to a fire flame and then cooling it with water does not affect the original raw diamond. While cracks and changes in color occur for fake diamonds.

* Water vapor test: The diamond disperses and distributes heat. Which makes the formation of (fog) on ​​its surface difficult. The way to do the test is by bringing the raw diamond close to the mouth and blowing it on it. Where the fog on the stone should not last for more than two seconds.

THE BENEFITS OF DIAMOND STONE AND THE NATURE OF ITS ENERGY

Diamonds are classified by energy as a group of stones of a meteorite nature (ether transparent nature).

It is divided into two types:

Including what is formed in the ground, including what falls from the sky, and diamonds have the greatest impact on awareness, and it must be noted that wearing diamonds doubles the situation a person is going through, whether it is sadness or joy. Depression, happiness etc.
