Diamonds are composed of carbon, specifically crystallized carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure. This unique arrangement gives diamonds their exceptional hardness and brilliance. Formed under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth’s mantle, diamonds can also be created in laboratories through synthetic processes. The carbon that makes up diamonds can originate from organic material, ancient carbon deposits, or even meteoric material. Beyond their beauty and hardness, diamonds hold significance in various industries, particularly in cutting tools and scientific applications, as well as being highly prized in jewelry.
