Diamond

Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called Diamond cubic. At room temperature and pressure, another solid form of carbon known as graphite is the chemically stable form of carbon. Diamond almost never converts to it. Diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivityof any natural material. Properties that are utilized in major industrial applications such as cutting and polishing tools. They are also the reason that Diamond anvil cells can subject materials to pressures found deep in the Earth.

Because the arrangement of atoms in diamond is extremely rigid, few types of impurity can contaminate it (two exceptions being boron and  nitrogen). Small numbers of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors).
