DARK DIAMOND

Diamonds are truly fascinating! They’re the hardest natural substance on Earth, scoring a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, made entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a super-strong cubic crystal structure.

Most natural diamonds formed 1 to 3 billion years ago deep in the Earth’s mantle under extreme heat and pressure, making them older than most life on the planet.
They’re not just symbols of luxury—ancient Greeks thought they were tears of the gods, and Romans believed they were splinters from falling stars. Today, they’re iconic for engagement rings, a tradition that started in 1477 when Archduke Maximilian proposed with one.

One of the most famous is the Hope Diamond, a rare blue gem with a legendary (and supposedly cursed) history.

Fun fact: All the diamonds ever mined and polished throughout history would fit into a single double-decker bus! They’re rare, timeless, and sparkle like nothing else. 💎
