A diamond (from the ancient Greek á¼Î´Î¬Î¼Î±Ï â adÃ¡mas, meaning unbreakable, proper, or unalterable) is one of the best-known and most sought-after gemstones. Diamonds have been known to mankind and used as decorative items since ancient times; some of the earliest references can be traced to India. The hardness of diamond and its high dispersion of light â giving the diamond its characteristic fire â make it useful for industrial applications and desirable as jewelry.
