Mineral Brands TipsA diamond comes from the bosom of the earth. More interestingly not all the diamonds mined are made into jewelry. When you own a diamond, you own something which is a legend in the making. It has not been made in a factory just the other day. Only one fourth of the diamonds that are mined are made into jewelry. It takes millions of years to make a diamond. Emeralds mirror the lush green of plant life, sapphires are the color of the sky and rubies are a rich blood-red. Diamonds can come in colors as well, with pink and canary diamonds being highly prized variants. Usually gems are of a color that mirrors other natural elements we consider beautiful or valuable. Others, like pearls or amber, are created from living organisms. Most gems are minerals. There are variations in color in all of these gems, of course, and in diamonds, but those are the colors most normally associated with them. Mineral Brands AdviceBetween cleaning, try not to touch your clean diamonds with your fingers or handle your jewelry by its edges. But, it is essential to keep your jewelry clean to keep it brilliant and sparkling. Only you can choose the cleaning method right for you.

Temperature changes in the upper mantle forces the carbon atoms to go deeper where it melts and finally becomes new rock, when the temperature reduces. If other conditions like pressure and chemistry is right then the carbon atoms in the melting crystal rock bond to build diamond crystals. According to geologists the first delivery of diamonds was somewhere around 2,5 billion years ago and the most recent was 45 million years ago. Diamonds form between 75-120 miles below the earth's surface. There is an abundance of carbon atoms in the mantle. Mineral Brands Facts
