The history of the diamond start to be written since ancient times. Started five millennia ago, it is not yet complete. Rare, mysterious stone - a mascot in India (the Indians thought it was formed by the "five beginings of the nature" - land, water, sky, air and energy), a synonym for wealth and splendor all over the world, a valuable contemporary material for industry.
When we describing a diamond, many times we will use the definition of "the most" - the hardest, the most brilliant, the most sustainable, the most expensive, the brightest. Its unusual properties are the basis of many legends and beliefs. It is a symbol of hardness, courage, fearlessness, a symbol of victory too.

The name diamond comes from the Latin adiamenten, which is synonymous with the Greek adamas it means "invincible".
The diamond has a simple chemical composition - C (crystalline carbon). It is polymorphous modification of carbon, the other is graphite. Up to 4% can be present as impurities. Predominant forms are octahedrons, rhombic dodecahedron, cubes and their combinations.
