email List of days of the year Today's featured picture Diamond is a solid
|
form of carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure known as diamond
|
cubic . It is metastable at standard temperature and pressure , converting to
|
the chemically stable form graphite under those conditions but at a negligible
|
rate. Diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural
|
material, properties that are useful in major industrial applications such as
|
cutting and polishing tools. In addition to its industrial uses, diamond is
|
much sought-after as a gemstone for use in jewelry. Most natural diamonds were
|
formed between 1 billion and 3.5 billion years ago, at depths between 150 to
|
250 kilometres (93 to 155 mi) in the Earth's mantle . They were then carried
|
to the surface more recently in volcanic eruptions and deposited in igneous
|
rocks known as kimberlites and lamproites . This photograph shows the
|
cathodoluminescence of a round-cut diamond, taken with the use of a scanning
|
electron microscope . The image has a field of view of 3.45 millimetres (0.136
|
in). Photograph credit: Pavel Somov Recently featured: Northern flicker Bell
