The Diamond stone, or Heera, is associated with Venus planet. Natural diamond is the purest form of carbon and the most beautiful and highly precious gemstone. It is the hardest material known until now. Apart from being used in jewellery, due to its hardness, it is also used in many other places. Nowadays, it is also made synthetically in labs.

Synthetic moissanite, zircon, strontium titanate, YAG, GGG, synthetic rutile, natural or synthetic sapphire, doublets, etc.

Color;

As in most cases with gemstones, it is a dominant factor in determining the price. It comes in a variety of colours including grey, blue, yellow, orange, pink, and red. However, coloured diamonds are considered lower quality because of impurities. Generally, colourless diamonds are of the highest quality.

Inclusions;

A high-quality diamond will have very few inclusions. Inclusions are the nasty blemishes created when diamonds go through extreme pressure and heat under the Earth’s crust. If there are many inclusions in the diamond, it will be a low-quality stone. Also, if the gem is too perfect with no inclusions, it might be fake or synthetic. An untrained eye cannot distinguish between natural inclusions and artificial ones.

Cut;

Usually, people think of diamond cuts in a heart or oval shape. But cutting and faceting a diamond is mostly about how effectively it can reflect the light and sparkle with the maximum intensity. Therefore, the cut is a significant factor in deciding the value. Diamond faceting, polishing, and final finishing require technically perfect labor.

Carat Weight;

It is an essential factor in determining the price. One carat of diamond weighs 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams. The cost of a diamond significantly increases as the carat weight increases. The rarity and desirable factor grow due to its beauty and brightness.

A) Brings good fortune
A diamond is a symbol of luxury. It has the immense divine and astrological power to bring good luck, wealth, and otherworldly things to life. Because it is related to Venus, the people of Virgo and Libra can get good benefits if they wear it.

B) Boosts self-esteem
A diamond is one of the most precious gemstones in the world. So when someone wears it, he feels luxurious, due to which his confidence automatically increases. It helps overcome anxiety and overthinking and calms the wearer’s mind.

C) Spiritual Benefits
We all know that gemstones contain divine energy, and diamonds are known to have the most powerful powers. If a person wants to move forward on the path of spirituality, then there can be no other gem more suitable than a diamond.

D) For art lovers and fashion workers
A person who is interested in any art, such as dancing, singing, painting, or any other artistic work, or whose function is related to fashion, such as garment work, will benefit greatly from the diamond. 

The chemical composition of a diamo

Venus, the planet, is associated with diamonds. It protects the wearer from the harmful effects of Venus. Diamonds are extremely beneficial to people who have Shukra Mahadasha and Antardasha in their horoscope.

But very few people can enjoy wearing this because of its expensive cost and rarity. Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, and Aries ascendants can wear diamonds as Venus favours these.

nd is carbon (c). Its hardness is 10 on the Mohs scale, which means it is the hardest material on earth. The specific gravity (S.G.) is 3.515 and the refractive index (R.I.) is 2.417.

1. Fog Test

Take the stone, ring, or pendant you want to test and exhale some fog on it. Wait for a few seconds; if the mist fades away immediately, congrats, your diamond stone is natural. If not, it takes some time to disappear. It’s a fake one. It happens because they conduct heat (heat of breathing in this case) and instantly disperse the moisture or fog.

2. Heating Test

Precaution: Follow proper safety measures while performing this test.

Take a glass or bowl of cold water. Now take a lighter and heat the Diamond with its help for roughly 40-50 seconds. Immediately, put the stone in the cold water. If a diamond stone gets broken or distorted in some way, it’s a fake stone.

Natural stones will remain unaffected by the situation because diamonds are one of the hardest substances in the world and will remain uninfluenced by such tests.

3. Read Through Test

This test is used to examine the refractive properties of diamonds. Take a newspaper or a book and place it flat on a surface. While performing the test, ensure that there is adequate lighting and that no shadow is cast on a diamond or newspaper. Now try to read a newspaper through it. If you can read it, even if it’s a little blurry, it’s a fake.

It happens because a natural diamond stone refracts the light in all directions (because of its cuts and facets), due to which we’ll not be able to read the text.

4. Ask the Expert

Take your stone to an expert gemologist or a jeweler. They’ll provide you with all the necessary parameters (like refraction, cuts, facets, light intensity, and imperfections) required for Diamond verification using various instruments like a microscope and jeweler’s loupe. Always ask for the certification while buying or testing.

• Weight: 0.5 to 1 carat
• Color: white or colourless
• Metal: Gold is preferred, but silver can also be used.
• Finger: small finger on the right hand

Russia and Botswana (Africa) produce the majority of diamonds. The Jwaneng Mine in Kgalagadi, Botswana, is the world’s richest mine, producing diamonds of the highest quality. The government of Botswana owns it.

Australia, Brazil, China, and Canada are some of the other countries that produce commercial-quality diamonds.

The United States of America has more than 40% of the global consumer base in the diamond market. However, it does not have any major commercial mines, except for a few. In India, these are primarily found in Madhya Pradesh (about 90%), Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, and Chattisgarh.
