Know Your Diamonds
Formed in the depth of our planet diamond is the hardest natural material known to man, where hardness is defined as resistance to scratching and is graded between 1 and 10 using the Moh's scale of mineral hardness. Diamond has a hardness of 10 on this scale. Diamond's hardness has been known since ancient times and is the source of its name ad?mas, which is from ancient Greek, meaning 'proper' or 'unalterable'.

Blood Diamonds
Roughly half of all diamonds are mined in central and southern Africa, although considerable sources of the mineral have been discovered in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, and Australia. Diamonds are mined from kimberlite and lamproite volcanic pipes deep within the Earth where high pressures and temperatures enable them to form and travel to the surface. The mining and distribution of natural diamonds are subjects of frequent controversy over the sale of blood diamonds or conflict diamonds by African paramilitary groups. be assured that ComparetheDiamond.com (formerly diamondgeezer.com) has a strict 'NO BLOOD DIAMONDS HERE' policy and each diamond sold by ComparetheDiamond.com (formerly diamondgeezer.com) has a solid audit trail back to its source via an industry control known as the Kimberley process.
