About it
A diamond is pure carbon, squeezed into a crystal deep underground by great heat and pressure, and carried up to the surface by volcanic eruptions long ago. It is the hardest natural material. This one has a brilliant cut, with dozens of small flat faces, called facets, to catch the light.
Tap it and it turns one way and the other, the way you would tilt a ring: facet after facet flashes with rainbow sparks. Jewelers call these colors fire. They come from the stone splitting white light into its colors, as a prism does.
