About Diamonds

A diamond is composed of carbon and is the hardest natural substance in the world. A Diamond may be up to 3 billion years old and crystallisation originates under intense heat and pressure some 160 kilometres beneath the earth’s surface. Diamonds are then transported to the Earth’s surface as small rough stones through magma eruptions.
