19 Interesting Diamond Facts

At first glance, diamonds look like little more than small, faceted pieces of glass — they’re transparent, they sparkle, and sure, they sit really nicely on jewelry. But when you take a closer look, the true value of diamonds becomes more apparent. After all, there’s a reason that diamonds are the world’s most popular gemstones.

Want to know a bit more about what makes diamonds so special? Here are 20 interesting diamond facts to get you started.

1. Mined diamonds form very deep underground

It’s no secret that mined diamonds come from underground, but most people aren’t quite aware of how far underground we’re talking about. Diamonds are formed far below the earth’s outer crust, approximately 100 miles down in the upper mantle. To offer a sense of perspective, the deepest hole ever drilled only made it about 7.5 miles (or about 12 kilometers) down. We’d need about 13 such holes to reach prime diamond-making depth.

2. Diamonds are pure carbon

What is a diamond? Well, when it comes to making diamonds, the ingredient list is pretty short. In fact, all you need is carbon. Carbon is an element commonly found on earth, and is unique in that a single carbon atom can form chemical bonds with up to four other atoms. When these atoms bond with four other carbon atoms tetrahedrally, it forms a rigid, three-dimensional crystal of unmatched hardness.

3. Diamonds and graphite are made of the same thing

Graphite — the slick, dusty material that gives modern pencils their mark-making ability — is also made from crystallized carbon. So why is diamond so different from graphite? Well the answer lies in the structure; much like in diamonds, graphite’s carbon atoms are bonded to four other carbon atoms. But unlike the tetrahedral structure found in diamonds, graphite atoms are arranged more two-dimensional — layered, like chicken wire. This allows the layers to separate easily… which is something diamond simply doesn’t do.

4. No one is quite sure how long it takes diamonds to form in the ground

The diamonds that are mined from the ground are generally extremely old — billions of years old, nearly as old as the earth itself. But the processes involved in creating these diamonds are a bit harder to clock. It may take billions of years for a diamond to grow, or it may take as little as a matter of hours. At the same time, the processes may not be consistent; environmental conditions could change, a diamond may stop growing for a few million years, and then the process might resume.

5. It takes a lot of heat and pressure to make diamonds

We may not understand how long a diamond takes to form underground, but we have a good idea of how much heat and pressure is needed. To get the process going, you need about 725,000 pounds (328854.5 kilograms) per square inch of pressure, and temperatures of around 2200°F (1200°C). This allows the carbon atoms to bond together correctly, instead of just ending up as crummy old graphite.

6. Diamonds are brought to the surface by explosive volcanic eruptions

For diamonds to travel from the upper mantle to the outer layers of the earth’s crust, they need to hitch a ride with a volcano. That said, most volcanic vents simply don’t go deep enough. Kimberlite volcanoes, on the other hand, reach far down into the upper mantle. During a kimberlite eruption, diamonds and surrounding material is explosively pushed to the surface by rapidly expanding gases. Kimberlite volcanoes are very rare, and scientists believe that the most recent kimberlite eruption may have occurred as far back as 10 to 20 million years ago.

7. Diamond may not be the hardest substance after all

According to the Mohs Scale (named after mineralogist Friedrich Mohs), diamonds are the hardest substance in existence. In fact, they’re about four-times as hard as the second hardest substance on the scale. Unfortunately, it looks like the Mohs Scale may be somewhat out of date. Both wurtzite boron nitride and lonsdaleite might be harder than diamond, depending on how you measure it. Oh, and it’s speculated that dying stars pack atoms together so tightly that the resulting “nuclear pasta” makes diamond look like tissue paper. But given that a single gram of nuclear pasta would likely weigh about 1,500,000 tons, you probably wouldn’t have much luck wearing it on your finger.

8. Not all diamonds are colorless

Although colorless diamonds are generally considered the most valuable, diamonds can be found in a range of colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, orange, purple, red, or even black. The color of a diamond is dependent upon the inclusion of trace elements within the diamond, or the introduction of other imperfections or impurities during formation.

9. Diamonds are named for their hardness

The modern English word diamond has origins in the Greek word adamao, which means “I subdue.” This root word shows up in other, similar words, such as adamantine, meaning “unbreakable.”

10. For a long time, diamonds were only found in India

Diamonds have been traded for thousands of years, and as far back as the 1st century AD, were already considered by some to be the most precious stones in the world. But it wasn’t until the 1700s, when India’s diamond supplies started running short, that diamond mines began cropping up in other parts of the world.

11. Most of the world’s mined diamonds come from only a handful of countries

Russia and Botswana are the world’s leading diamond producers, accounting for over half of the world’s annual diamond production. Canada, Angola, and South Africa are responsible for most of the remaining diamonds. Together, these five countries produce approximately 88% of the world’s diamonds.

12. Most mined diamonds are not used in jewelry

Thanks to their extreme durability and hardness, diamonds are useful in a range of industrial applications, including cutting, drilling, polishing, etc. And, because a large portion of rough, mined diamonds are unsuitable for jewelry, approximately 80% of mined diamonds are put to work as industrial diamonds.

13. The Cullinan Diamond is the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found

Discovered in South Africa in 1905, the Cullinan Diamond originally weighed a whopping 3,106.75 carats. It made its way into the hands of the British Royal Family, and was eventually cut down into nine separate diamonds, with the two largest (Cullinan I and Cullinan II) currently holding places of prominence as part of the Crown Jewels.

14. Traditional diamond mining is dangerous and environmentally damaging

In total, diamond mining results in approximately 1 injury for every 1000 workers annually. At the same time, for every single carat of diamond mined from the ground, around 100 square feet of land are disturbed and nearly 6000 lbs of mineral waste are produced.

15. It is possible to grow real diamonds in controlled conditions

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and structurally identical to mined diamonds. In fact, in 2018 the Federal Trade Commission amended its Jewelry Guides, eliminating any distinction between lab diamonds and mined diamonds.

16. Lab-grown diamonds were first made in the 1950s

While lab-grown diamonds are only beginning to change the face of the diamond industry, the first man-made diamond was actually created nearly 70 years ago. General Electric funded the process, and the resulting diamonds were generally smaller than 0.1 carats and used in their unpolished form for industrial purposes.

17. There are two processes labs use to grow diamonds

To create diamonds in a lab, diamond producers rely on one of two possible methods:  High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). HPHT replicates the extreme heat and pressure found within the earth to melt carbon and force it to bond together, crystalizing into a diamond. CVD takes a slightly different approach, heating a carbon-rich gas until it turns into plasma, allowing the carbon to crystalize and grow around a small diamond starter seed. HPHT was developed first, but the CVD process is widely considered the superior approach.

18. Lab-Grown Diamonds cost less and create less waste

While diamond mining can be a hazardous, environmentally unfriendly process, growing diamonds in a lab is ethical and ecologically responsible. And, because lab-grown diamonds eliminate the long supply chains associated with the mined-diamond trade, they can be sold for significantly less; a lab-grown diamond will generally cost 20–30% less than a mined diamond of the same quality.

19. Lab diamonds can be grown very quickly

While we may not be sure how long it takes for diamonds to form underground, we know that growing diamonds in a lab is a relatively fast process. A single carat diamond can be grown in around one month.

Don’t complain - do this instead

Got issues with your staff or Boss? We have a solution for you. 

“If I added up all the time I’d spent listening to people complain about each other last week: 3 hours and 45 minutes. And that was just the time they spent complaining to me.” - Glenn Leet

This is, unfortunately, not unusual. The legendary executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, interviewed more than 200 of his clients and what he discovered matched previous research he read but found hard to believe: “a majority of employees spend 10 or more hours per month complaining — or listening to others complain — about their bosses or upper management. Even more amazing, almost a third spend 20 hours or more per month doing so.”

And that doesn’t even include the complaining they do about their peers and employees. Which would be hard to believe if not for the fact that, if you pay attention to what you experience during your day, you’d find it’s pretty accurate.

Imagine the productivity gain of reducing all those complaining hours.

Why do we complain about other people?

Because it feels (really) good, requires minimal risk, and it’s easy.

Here’s what happens: Someone annoys us. We’re dissatisfied with how they’re behaving. Maybe we’re angry, frustrated, or threatened. Those feelings build up as energy in our bodies, literally creating physical discomfort (that’s why we call them feelings — because we actually, physically, feel them).

When we complain about someone else, the uncomfortable feelings begin to dissipate because complaining releases the pent-up energy. That’s why we say things like “I’m venting” or “I’m blowing off steam” (But, as we’ll see in a moment, that dissipation doesn’t just release the energy, it spreads it, which actually makes it grow).

Additionally, when we complain to people who seem to agree with us — and we almost always complain to people who seem to agree with us — we solicit comfort, camaraderie, connection, support, and justification, which counteracts the bad feelings with some fresh, new good ones.

Complaining changes the balance of negative/positive energy and, for a brief moment at least, we feel better. It’s actually a pretty reliable process. Addictive even.

Which is the problem (beyond even the wasted time): Like just about all addictions, we’re feeding the spin of a destructive, never-ending cycle. The release of pressure — the good feeling — is ephemeral. In fact, the more we complain, the more likely the frustration, over time, will increase.

Here’s why: when we release the pent-up energy by complaining, we’re releasing it sideways. We almost never complain directly to the person who is catalyzing our complaints, we complain to our friends and families. We’re not having direct conversations to solve a problem, we’re seeking allies. We’re not identifying actions that could help, we’re, almost literally, blowing off steam.

Why is complaining about such a bad move?

Complaining creates a number of dysfunctional side effects (again, beyond the time wasted): It creates factions, prevents or delays — because it replaces — productive engagement, reinforces and strengthens dissatisfaction, riles up others, breaks trust, and, potentially, makes the complainer appear negative. We become cancer we’re complaining about; the negative influence that seeps into the culture.

Worse, our complaining amplifies the destructiveness and annoyance of the initial frustration about which we’re complaining.

Think about it: someone yells in a meeting. Then you go to the next meeting (where no one is yelling) and you complain about the person who just yelled. Now other people, who weren’t at the initial meeting, feel the impact of the yelling and get upset about it too. Encouraged by their support, your brief, momentary release transforms into righteous indignation and, becoming even more incensed, you experience the initial uncomfortable feelings all over again.

In other words, while the energy dissipates, it expands. The amount of time you spend thinking about it extends for hours, sometimes days and weeks. And you’ve multiplied the people who are also thinking and talking about it.

Meanwhile, our complaining improves, precisely, nothing.

In fact, that might be the biggest problem: Complaining is a violent move to inaction. It replaces the need to act. If instead of complaining, we allowed ourselves to feel the energy without needing to dissipate it immediately — which requires what I call emotional courage — then we could put that energy to good use. We could channel it so it doesn’t leak out sideways.

In other words, let the uncomfortable feeling you have — the one that would otherwise lead you to complain — lead you to take a productive action.

What’s a better move when we feel like complaining?

Go ahead and complain. Just do it directly — and thoughtfully — to the person who is the cause of your complaints.

“Talk to the person who yelled in the meeting. If that person doesn’t listen, talk to their boss. If you don’t like that idea, then, when it actually happens, say “Hold on. Let’s respect each other in this conversation.” If you missed the opportunity in the moment, then meet with them afterwards and say, “Please let’s respect each other in our conversations.” - Glenn Leet 

That, of course, also takes emotional courage. It’s a scary, more risky thing to do. But it’s why it’s worth developing your emotional courage — because, while scary, it’s far more likely to be highly productive. It holds the potential for changing the thing that’s the problem in the first place. And rather than become the negative influence, you become the leader.

If you want to brave this route, let your urge to complain be the trigger that drives you to take action in the moment (or, if you missed the moment, then shortly after):

Notice the adrenaline spike or the can-you-believe-that-just-happened feeling (e.g., someone yelling in a meeting).

Breathe and feel your feelings about the situation so that they don’t overwhelm you or shut you down. Notice that you can stay grounded even in difficult situations (e.g., feel, without reacting).

Understand the part about what’s actually happening that is complain-worthy (e.g., it’s not okay to yell and disrespect others in a meeting).

Decide what you can do to draw a boundary, ask someone to shift their behavior, or otherwise improve the situation (e.g., “Please let’s respect each other in our conversations.”)

Follow through on your idea (e.g., actually say: “Please let’s respect each other in our conversations.”)

It’s not nearly as easy as complaining. But it will be far more productive and valuable.

It won’t always work like that, but you may be surprised how often it will.

Gluten Free Goodie Box Giveaway + 5 Ways Blogging Has Made My Life 1000% More Awesome

New blog post! You can research the best blogging platform, experiment with tons of blogging apps and read all the blogging for beginners books you can find. However, some blogging lessons can only be discovered from personal experience...and that's exactly what I'm talking about today!

To celebrate four years since I started blogging at Casey the College Celiac (and four years since my celiac disease diagnosis), I'm hosting a gluten free giveaway (featuring 20+ products). This post isn't sponsored and there is no purchase necessary to enter this giveaway; I'm just going to mail one lucky winner a box loaded with gluten free treats. A blogging celebration wouldn't be complete with a toast, though - so I'm also sharing five ways blogging has made my life 1000% more awesome.

What is blogging to me? What do I think of making money blogging? And how can you win a delicious gluten free goodie box? Keep reading to find out!

1. Blogging has taught me that, sometimes, you just need to plan less and start ASAP. 

If you're anything like me, you may want to spend months researching how to start a blog before you officially join the blogosphere. However, sometimes you just need to take the plunge and dive in!

That's exactly how I started blogging four years ago. I had no idea what I was doing, what the best blogging platform was or what to even call this new website of mine. (Fun fact: this blog started as "Casey the Celiac Sealion" in an ode to my college's mascot. Thankfully, that name didn't last long). So, in a process full of trial and error, I just started publishing my thoughts on the internet.

My first photo on the blog...

Do I recommend you do a little more research than I did before launching your blog? Yes. I wish I'd started on WordPress, and I wish I'd known even a little about social media marketing and SEO. Yet, my blog has still done pretty dang well (in my modest opinion), and my blogging experience reminds me that, sometimes in life, you need to plan less and act more. (A motto I'm taking to heart as I begin my grad school adventure this month!)

2. Blogging has helped me connect with people all over the world. 

One of the most rewarding parts of blogging has honestly been the connections I've made with others. When I was hospitalized, people from all over the globe - ranging from London to Canada to Brazil - sent their love, prayers and healing thoughts. And, ever since I announced that I'm moving to Mankato, Minnesota for grad school, bloggers from that area have messaged me with restaurant recommendations, winter weather advice and invitations for a local tour. 

I won't deny that I've met my share of creepy people over the Internet, which is why you should be careful about how much personal information you share and whom you exchange messages with. However, blogging has continually prevented me from feeling alone with celiac disease. Anytime I want to cry over being glutened or vent about an ignorant comment, I have someone to reach out to who completely understands. If that's not an awesome blogging benefit, I don't know what is.

3. I've learned how to make money while doing what I love. 

I didn't start Casey the College Celiac with the goal to make money blogging. In fact, I think anyone who has purely financial motivations for blogging will have a hard time. Why? To put it plainly, blogging is a LOT of work if you want to do it well. You need to research, write and edit blog posts. You also need to get people to actually read what you write. Not to mention that, in my experience, most bloggers can't monetize their site from day one.

However, the more I blogged about gluten free recipes, living with celiac disease and college tips, the more companies reached out to me. And, in my mind, that is how you want your sponsored partnerships to start. Instead of trying to contact as many companies as possible, just do your thang and, eventually, brands will start to notice that you do it well.

My college roomie when it rained Foster Farms corn dogs and chicken tenders...

Nowadays, I turn down more product review and sponsored post offers than I accept, and I try to only partner with brands who I honestly support and believe will benefit my readers. Sometimes it still blows me away when I get a package in the mail full of gluten free products. I mean, what college student - or celiac on a budget - doesn't feel blessed when the mailman drops off an edible gift? What I always remember, though, is how lucky I am to have a semi-professional hobby that lets me taste and promote the gluten free products and companies I love!

4. I've discovered that I'm so much more capable than I ever thought.

The truth is, blogging is more complicated - but also more rewarding - than most people realize. Like I've hinted at above, when I clicked "publish" on my first blog post, I knew nothing about SEO or coding or even social media. The more I connected with readers, though, the more dedicated I became to learning how to improve my blog. At first, it was just publishing more regularly. Then I started to experiment with blog marketing. Just a few weeks ago, I finally got brave enough to give Casey the College Celiac a major facelift.

I still wouldn't ever classify myself as "techy." But I now know how to use social media to my advantage, how to make blog posts go semi-viral (like this one and this one did), and even how to tweak some coding here and there. Not only that, but blogging jobs - and jobs that utilize blogging skills - really are out there. One of the reasons Entity Magazine hired me was because I had an online following and was familiar with online publishing.

Me from teaching my class to other Entity interns...

So what am I trying to say? Basically, if anyone ever tells you that blogging is a waste of time, don't believe them. Sure, not every blogger might land a job related to their website. However, all bloggers can gain valuable skills - from learning how to keep readers' attention to designing a killer quote card - that can help them grow as writers...and people! 

5. Blogging has proven that my dream - making a difference in people's lives through writing - can really become a reality. 

When you're a college student or a recent college graduate, it's pretty common to be asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

My answer has never been one particular job title. Instead, I've always said something like, "I want to make a difference." Maybe that's by working for a company with a mission I believe in. Or maybe that's by being a college writing professor (my most recent dream). Either way, blogging has proven to me that I can make a difference using my writing skills and degree. 

I'm not the most popular or well known blogger in the gluten free community - not by a long shot. However, all of my hard work is worth it when I read even one comment thanking me for raising awareness or one comment about a reader's own similar struggles. Readers have said that some of my posts made them cry, but, the truth is, so have some of their comments.

I don't know where my writing will take me during or after grad school at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I don't know where this blog will be in another four years, either. Yet, I know that I will keep writing - on and off the blog - the words I and others need to hear. 

The Gluten Free Giveaway!

Now, I'd say that was enough food for thought...so how about we talk about the gluten free food one lucky person will win in my blog anniversary giveaway? As a Love with Food ambassador and gluten free product reviewer, I often end up with a bunch of extra gluten free goodies throughout the year. Sometimes they have other allergens that don't agree with me (like dairy or soy); other times, I've already eaten my fill. So, to celebrate four years of blogging, I want to spread the gluten free love to one randomly-picked winner!

What exactly will this winner receive? A box LOADED with 20+ products (around a $40 retail value), ranging from meal accompaniments to healthy snacks to baking ingredients (the gluten free baker in your life would love this 12-ounce bag of almond flour!) to desserts.

Some giveaway highlights:

- Delallo Gluten Free Lasagna Sheets - Annie Chun's Seaweed Crisps  - Pereg Natural Foods Almond Meal Flour - A bunch of nut/nut free butters, including Peanut Butter and Company Powdered Vanilla Peanut Butter, Wowbutter and more - Savi Gluten Free Dessert Protein Bar - Buff Bake Protein Cookie, Snickerdoodle flavor - And much more... Whether you've recently been diagnosed with celiac disease, follow a gluten free diet or just want some new treats to try, this goodie bag would be a delicious surprise. It is important to note that these gluten free goodies do contain other allergens, like dairy, egg and soy. However, I'm sure the foodies in your life wouldn't mind receiving the products you can't eat yourself!
