DIAMOND~ i will get it~

Today, a simply gold with diamond necklace got my attention. Since kid, I dreamed for a prince with his white horse come to me, and knee in front of me purpose with a huge diamond ring~ of course! I know it was just a dream. ^^ I will try to get one diamond ring myself in the future.

Diamond, ladies’ favorite among all jewels. Diamond is the hardest natural material in world as we know. It’s hardest had been proved by the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. With grading 1(softest) to 10(hardest), diamond got hardness of 10 in this scale. Due to diamond requires a basic knowledge of the element carbon, it give diamond properties of hardest and high melting point. Diamond is made up of repeating units of carbon atoms joined to four other carbon atoms via the strongest chemical linkage, covalent bonds. Each carbon atom joins four other carbon atoms in regular tetrahedrons (triangular prisms). Diamond is transparent from the far infrared through the deep ultraviolet. Diamond has the highest reflectance and index of refraction of any transparent substances. That why diamond is always so shiny~ Diamond gemstones are commonly clear or pale blue, but colour diamonds, called 'fancies', have been found in all the colours of the rainbow.

We said that diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible at ambient conditions. Graphite is only a few electron volts more stable than diamond, but the activation barrier for conversion requires almost as much energy as destroying the entire lattice and rebuilding it. Therefore, once diamond is formed, it will not reconvert back to graphite because the barrier is too high. Under the high pressure and temperature conditions needed to form diamond its form is actually more stable than graphite, and so over millions of years carbonaceous deposits may slowly crystallize into diamond.

oh diamond~ so beautiful~ maybe not prince but i still hope i will meet with my Mr.Right in future, and he knee with a diamond ring to purpose with me..i will have a story like prince william and kate~ hahahahaha.....
