Diamonds 101: How They Form and How They're Found
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2024
- Diamonds have been coveted for thousands of years; in fact, there is evidence that diamonds have been collected and traded in India as early as the fourth century BC! Comprised of just one element-carbon-diamonds are considered to be the hardest substances on earth. Natural diamonds are ancient-some specimens have been proven to be have formed three billion years ago.
Two representatives from Lucara Diamond-William Lamb and CEO Eira Thomas-join The Balancing Act to share their diamond knowledge. Diamonds 101 includes information on how diamonds form, how they are mined, how they are cut and, most importantly, what makes a naturally occurring diamond so unique.

Diamonds are controlled heavily to make you think they are rare, they are rare in finding, but there is unbelievably lodes of diamonds ranging from different quality levels, they are very much abundant, taking into consideration of how long diamonds have been minded and in circulation over the past.
But this is true! Finding that perfect stone with the right inclusions and colour and cut to shape and size is why diamonds fetch premium's in price!
Thanks for reading

Diamond
Diamond is a form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. At room temperature and pressure, another solid form of carbon known as graphite is the chemically stable form of carbon, but diamond almost never converts to it. Diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material, properties that are utilized in major industrial applications such as cutting and polishing tools. They are also the reason that diamond anvil cells can subject materials to pressures found deep in the Earth.
Diamonds are incredibly rare - buhahahha . Bunch of liars just to keep the prices up.
It's still rare in comparison to most other minerals
@@michaelallingham4122 it's in abundance.
Whatever you find?
Where you get to keep whatever you find?
@@denisecreagh2039 in a deep cave and there's 30% chance to find it
Rare applies to those that meet certain criteria above specific size. Not all diamonds are rare.
1:00 One of the most common elements in the universe = rare #seenenough
Hahaha my sentiments exactly
Always take information with a grain of salt, even mine.

"these are Botswana's diamonds"
Forgive my skepticism
Yeah. We're just digging them up and selling them for huge profits. But they're Botswana's diamonds of course.
Stealing from Africa. Has been going on for centuries

He just started speaking, and what I know he's going to say is, "So, I've never actually dug up and found a diamond, ever, in my life,.... ever. But for the person that has, whom will never own one..... I bet it feels pretty cool to unveil something in a piece of coal that looks sooooo shiny." I just can't with this type of ethic.
Bro are you high? You need workers and you need machine owners, this kinda job pays well and you work very little, are you that out of touch?
kind of comment China hates. So watch yo mouf!
I’ve read that before diamonds on engagement rings, it was common to have pearls but diamond merchants helped spread lies that pearls were unlucky and would end in a bad marriage so they could tout diamonds
Diamond ads and campaigns definitely helped, don’t let anyone fool you. Before they became synonymous with marriage, they weren’t highly sought after especially by common folks.
Happy oyster. Lol

I read an article how the diamond company DeBeers created the idea of engagement rings to start selling diamonds
@@mssabz1985 Really? That would make sense. I'm gonna check that out. Solid comment.
Diamonds are NOT rare, compared to other stones like rubies and sapphire...

Cuando podríamos hablar
True but flawless diamond are rare and it's what people want.
Gold sapphire and diamond are rare because you may risk your life to get them and also work extremely hard for not much most times and then many more times with not much then luck persistence and patience pays off that is what rare is the place you go to and how you get there can and does mean everything and then if you don't carry equipment to take it from the ground you won't succeed
But the question is do u have one?
Mining for diamonds means destructing the environment!
true shouldnt of made digging into the earth legal!
@@peppermeat8059 we wouldn't found many amazing ancient discoveries from archeologists using that theory, plus how do you guys think any type of ore comes from from bronze/silver/ iron ? Shit doesn't grow like a tree, plus mother nature will take it all back one day anyway

Thanx for this video.....☺️
“They form under tremendous pressure and depth.”
William Lamb in this clip seems extremely passionate about the industry, product, and cause. You can see him get amped when talking about the good the mines do! Interestingly, when I first saw the part in the clip where they show the diamond mine, I felt saddened they were using the earth. As a result, I felt detractive towards the decision to mine and anyone associated to it. While I experienced a fleeting moment of self-righteousness, I quickly realized that this is no different from what we do to our own land. As of October 2012, Australia had 405 mines. If I accept mining in my own land to support my requirements of power and water, how am I to see the practice any different elsewhere. Thank you, Africa, for helping me realize the truth. While I don't know the details about the impact both positive and negative of mining, I am eager to learn more and would appreciate if anyone has any good resources?
Peace
Damaging the earth for to make money on something that is free to line their pocket. Is bad. Don't they feel they got enough. Why are they so greedy to have to cause more pain to the earth. In away when you hear about desaters that the earth bring. Due to these gready f**** leave the earth alone, and she will leave you too. Hurst her, and she'll do more damage that what you do to here. Yeah it's sad really. Very sad 🙏🏾💙👊🏾

@@miguelanderson5185 you damage the Earth every day to continue your life, yet you don’t call yourself evil
this is a lie. Diamonds are way more common than you think but a few players control the "release" of diamonds to the marketplace so they can rip you off.
They are not rare that's a lie so they make diamonds expansive
Thank you very much💐
Belongs to Botswana.
Diamonds are made from high pressure and 150km in depth!
So remember this: in order to become the diamond among the people on earth, you need to be wanting to be under pressure and in depth! Most people are doing just enough to survive in this world and care about being happy most of the time, but to be a diamond you need to understand happiness is not what you think it is, happiness is what you need to do in order to become the person you want to become, so if you're gonna be under pressure remember you're becoming a diamond and that's happiness!
Alot of people don't want to climb the lather in a company due to the pressure and responsibilities it takes, but do you want to become a diamond or no? Do you want to have your own buisness and scale it up in the future? Then go and speak responsibilities and pressure to have on yourself! Because that is what I'm doing! And if you're not doing it, do not hate or complain on the people who worked hard and is rich!
Happiness is what u need to do im order to become the person u want to be?
Dont tell me ..your searching wierd stuff because your bored😑😑?
No
Not weird
Bro get off the weed
Prior to mining diamonds it first is explored to estimate the size of the Kimberlite pipe on average they could be 500 to 1.2 km in diameter. The first thing they do is bulk sampling so 200 bore holes drilled and cored 30 to 50 m then they send to a diamond processing plant usually in South Africa so this bulk sampling could be 150 tonnes of Kimberlite pipe and when all of the diamonds extracted they make a figure for example 4 carats a tonne then it's worth mining. Just removing the top surface can take a year before hitting the Kimberlite pipe.

very cool it's awesome topic very interesting.
These people are 'pros' and think diamonds are rare??
One of the things I find incredibly fascinating is ppl putting value on a rock because it "looks pretty". Idk just sounds stupid to me. I don't necessarily want something someone might kill me for. Nah, I'm good😐🤨
They have other uses
Humans can make diamonds quite easily.
How?
Yes I’ve heard lab diamonds are nothing new
Nikki O. “Diamonds are rare” are bs. They’re actually not. And most diamonds from your chain jewelry stores at the mall ARE lab grown. :)
But can diamonds make humans?
EDIT: to be absolutely clear this is indeed an SU reference
Katt Kat they aren’t you stupid shithead inform yourself they need to be marked as lab grown
once I found a diamond rock and I had it in my collection, then one day I took my collection on a field trip to a museum to show and tell, and I was told I had a diamond rock lol I didn't know!
What did you do with it?
@@Pay4Zay being a kid, I lost it. I miss placed it, so its somewhere in the world. I've moved so many times prolly someone else has it now.
@@iriskeniafernandez5647 thats actually very sad, one day maybe u could find a diamond rock "kimberlite"
I as a kid found a shiny rock among a pile of construction rocks. Picked it up cz it was shining bright like a diamond🎶 and have it with me even now. Since the rock must be a basalt it may not be a proper diamond but it sure is shiny.
diamonds are so rare you can go to thousands of stores all over the world and find them... not once have i seen a diamond shortage and thyere supposed to be "rare"
"incredibly rare" LOL!
Bro Incredibly she's full of crap bro you can find diamond all over the world the magma underneath the Earth makes these rare Stones and pushes them to the surface through a rock called kimberlite from a active volcano or left from an extinct volcano or even the earthquake can push them up she's just saying rare to keep people from looking out for them straight hater 😂
How much value diamond miniral?

As a diamond geologist I shall refrain from trying to answer the rubbish comments made by uninformed people here below, but I am surprised by two things this lady mentioned:
1. All diamonds are not billions of years old - a considerable number are less than 1bn years old;
2. I will be surprised if this company is still in business if they are so incapable that it takes them 10 years to find out if a newly discovered diamondiferous kimberlite is economically viable. Even if it is a large resource involving the planning required for an underground section as well, it should not take more than 2 - 3 years.
Have you considered the possibility that she is exaggerating the efforts of processing diamonds to justify the inflated price?
I think they are taking "Lab roughs" and trying to take over market... diamonds are abundant - but 95 % are not "Gem Ring Quality" stones ! Most of all the 5,000 yr old big carat roughs of quality grade have been hidden or vaulted away ! This is were the "Rarity Monopoly" is started, me personally - I think Lab Diamonds are the future of Jewelry ...along with Moissanite! In this way the buyer gets the Superior Quality CCCCC without middleman bloodshed or salesman bull$chitt !!!
I can tell she was lying! She didn’t even do it well!
Bullshit!
I don't trust any of you. I've seen blood diamond. You're all lying scam artists that use slaves to make money.

There not real diamonds lol, it’s now lab grown
@@coolrandomvids1059 so you mean diamonds are now man made?
@@coolrandomvids1059 NO they are exactly the same on an atomic level, if you tested both they would both come out as real diamonds. The only difference one is natural, one is lab made. One is connected to a deadly conflict, one is not..

Digging the earth to find pretty rocks for us to wear, to prove status.. the most selfish thing.
So true
And yet people are getting hyped and very proud to have it
Hmm..well they're used for other things as well such as:
Generating laser beams in electronics,
Cutting glass, drilling rocks, etc. Next time,please Google something before trying to sound smart without making an actual statement.
Nicole P And yet her comment still stand, what are diamonds mainly used for... To make assholes like you feel better about themselves. Engagement rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings. Please don’t act like diamonds are not mainly used for these purposes.There are other ways to cut glass and drill rocks. It’s ignorant comments like yours that would bash another for speaking truth. Idiot
Nova Xo
It's not selfish and not just for status: diamonds and other jewels last CENTURIES:
they're a form of ART.
A polished and cut diamond disperses the light and we see colours glitter, known as “fire”. The white light that makes them sparkle is called “brilliance.” Even though the rocks are often overvalued, it takes a real craftsman to cut a diamond to maximise the fire and brilliance it creates. It wasn’t until 1919 that the “round brilliant” cut was formed that has become the favourite for engagement rings. I’m interested in the craftsman side of things, not the status they bring.
My diamonds be with you

The pure, high quality diamonds are rare but diamonds on the whole (sold to companies for drills,tools..etc even some jewelry) are not rare.
Diamonds aren't as rare as they once were, the same with Tanzanite. Benitoite is pretty rare, a tiny chip cost me a lot. It's soft, they don't often put it in jewlery, the same with many gems/minerals.

Supply and demand
The fact that she mentioned diamonds are very rare, twice, even when a question was not relevant makes me to think is it really so? The fact is that no they are not, and they are abundant but controlled by corporations particularly one company.

Is kimberlite a rock or metal with diamonds in it
its a rock yes it has diamonds in it might be only one or two or more
so if a 348 carat diamond is worth 23 million then that 1000k carat is JACKPOT

Diamonds aren't that rare. Jewelry quality diamonds are. I can buy a diamond encrusted cutting wheel for pretty cheap and it's covered in crushed, small low grade diamonds. Most people generally don't want black, brown or yellow diamonds, unless they're unusually large, and people don't want diamonds with occlusions in them.
I always thought diamonds were common, so much so that they use them on drills. What is rare is the size and clarity or grade?
The diamonds on drills are synthetic . They are still diamonds just lab grown .
Not all are synthetic. Many many diamonds are found that aren't gem quality and have too many flaws so they are ground for other uses.
