A diamond is an extremely special and unique gemstone. First of all, it's very simply carbon that's hardened to a degree that makes it the hardest substance known to man. It's very heat resistant, and it disperses heat very well. It's scratch resistant. It is used in industry all over the world, and it also is used to represent the feelings of one person to another. So diamonds are the most unique gemstone anywhere that anyone can find.
