Diamonds are pure carbon and the hardest mineral of all. Diamonds are formed by pressure deep inside the Earth. Volcanoes push them closer to the surface. They are found in igneous rock and on river bottoms where erosion dropped them.

Diamonds are mined using open-pit or underground mining. Diamonds are found with other minerals. After mining the diamonds, water pushes them across a table that has grease on the bottom. The minerals get a coating of water and just wash away but the diamonds that don’t coat with water, drop to the bottom, and get stuck on the grease. At the end, the diamonds are taken off of the greasy table, cleaned, sorted, and sold.

Diamond is a stone that bonds relationships and enhances love. It brings longevity, particularly to relationships, balance, clarity and abundance. It can amplify one's thoughts, strengths, and weaknesses. It gives one who wears or carries it courage and hope. Historically, crushed diamond has been used as a cure for many ailments.
