What Is Holy Basil? Holy basil, sometimes called Thai basil tulsi, is an herb from the same family as the basil often used in cooking. Although it's used in Ayurvedic medicine, clinical studies backing up any of the traditional uses for this herb are limited.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural material and the third-hardest known material after aggregated diamond nanorods and ultrahard fullerite. Its hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.
Thanks knobley. You saved my from being the guy who says, You know, those aren't actually elements.... ... although I'm still gonna be a dick and say since diamond is the hardest mineral, and it's an allotrope of carbon, carbon's the strongest element.
