* Diamond means unconquerable, indestructible

Touching to the magic stone is a unique feeling, the look like goes deep down in one hypnotic and endless beauty. The diamond is considered as a standard of richness, power and prosperity.
The word „diamond” comes from the Greek word “adamas” that means unconquerable, indestructible. The diamond is the hardest natural material in the world. Although its availability is quite limited, it comes from the carbon – one of the most widespread elements in nature. The atoms of the carbon are combined with short, stable connections in three-dimensional system. But the diamonds aren’t the same taken alone. There are a number of factors that define the price and the value - transparency, fluorescence, destructibility and way of reflection of the light. Among the transparency stage the diamonds vary from entirely transparent to entirely mat. The most quality and pure diamonds are used for the producing of jewels and the others diamonds with low quality are used mostly in the industry. The stones that after grinding and polishing don’t shine are called „death diamonds”. After ultra-violet treatment the diamonds eliminate light. It can be blue, violet, sometimes yellow, green or orange.
The most famous diamond fields are in India, Brazil, South Africa and Canada. At the end of 19th century in South Africa burst the so-called „diamond fever”. The history shows that the fever is provoked from one of the most famous diamonds „The star of South Africa” that weight 83,5 carats.
