How Classification of Diamonds

Diamonds are generally classified into the categories of natural diamond, synthetic industrial diamond and diamond thin film on the basis of their training.

 

Diamonds are the most exciting gift a woman can dream. Words, Äúdiamond, the AU comes from the Greek word, which means Äúadamas AU Äúinvincible. "Because of the atomic structure, diamond is the hardest natural matter. Bijou transparent is expensive and is made of carbon.

 

Natural diamonds, as its name suggests, are diamonds that come from nature. Natural diamonds are divided into four categories depending on the type and quantity of pollutants in them. They are:

• Type 1: This type contains nitrogen 0.3% and 98% of diamonds are of this type. They are either pale yellow or brown, because they absorb blue light.
• Type 1b: This type contains 500 ppm of nitrogen. They are yellow, orange, green or brown.
• Type 2: This type contains small amounts of nitrogen and is almost free of all forms of pollution. It is the purest form of diamond, and is generally colorless.
• Type 2b: It is a rare type of natural diamond, and contains a very small amount of nitrogen. Diamonds of this type are colored blue and 0.1% of all diamonds together.

 

Then, synthetic diamonds are those which are produced artificially by high pressure high temperature synthesis. In this process, the graphite and the catalysts are enormous hydraulic pressure and are also exposed to high temperatures for several hours. It automatically converts diamond graphite. Manufactured diamonds are so small and are used as cutting and grinding, but their quality is lower, so they can not be regarded as a stone. Therefore, these diamonds are marked by the industrial performance.

 

The third type of diamond is known as diamond thin films. Such diamonds are produced by a process called Chemical Vapor Deposition.

 

Color plays an important role in the differentiation of diamonds. Whites are produced in all the mines around the world. Pink Diamonds are the most extraordinary of all. Similarly, there are yellow diamonds, green diamonds and blue diamonds, the quantities produced by the Argyle mine in Australia. This mine is also 95% of the world, aos pink diamond generation.
