Diamond molecule,computer artwork. Diamond is an allotrope,or structural form,of carbon. The atoms are arranged tetrahedrally,or in a pyramid arrangement,producing a crystal that is extremely strong and hard. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral,and often used in drill bits and engraving tools. It has a high refractive index,dispersing visible light into its component wavelengths,a property that renders it attractive as a gemstone. Its refractive index also means much light is internally reflected,which gives it its brilliance | |
