Diamonds By: Nina

Properties Color: A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond has no hue Streak: None. Because it is the hardest mineral. Hardness: 10 Cleavage or fracture: Cleavage Density: 3.5 to 3.53 grams/ cubic centimeter

Elements made up of carbon atoms arranged in a cubic structure known as diamond lattice

Top 10 countries diamonds can be found in are Brazil, Ghana, Namibia, Angola, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Congo, Botswana and Russia. And the Unites States.

Processing break and fracture the ore using crushing and milling processes to reduce the particles fed into our automated facilities and "liberate" diamonds.

Value

Uses About 20% of diamonds found are used for jewelry. The other 80% are used in industry. These uses include: cutting tools, polishing hard metal, phonograph and videodisc needles, and bearings for laboratory instruments.
