What properties is diamond and why he is so valuable

We are happy once again welcome you, our dear readers! Diamonds always differed from other minerals. Moreover, not only the fact that those of them are beautiful and felling diamonds, but also their widest and diverse use in industry, dentistry, laser medicine and other industries. The properties of the diamond allow you to do it all.

We will look at them in this brief, informative and, confident, an interesting article. It should be noted that some of the properties of this stone can be applied at home, thereby finding the way out of unusual and non-standard life situations.

Let's start learning such an interesting topic. We wish you a pleasant reading, our dear friends!

Physical properties of Almaz

Let's start with the most famous, namely physical properties, since they allowed you to conquer this stone such popularity. Consider the following "professional" qualities:

Mineral hardness

Almost everyone knows that such a mineral, like a diamond, is the most firm famous stone in the world. What is this due? Specific crystal mineral lattice. Communications between carbon atoms are very durable.

To assess the relative values \u200b\u200bon the hardness of minerals, there is a scale of MOOS, which is known and accepted worldwide. Relativity (explain as easier as possible) was taken as the following: the scratching of one mineral relative to other references. For example, a diamond piece can "scratch" all minerals, and it is almost nothing. That's the whole principle that helps to significantly simplify life.

Diamond fragments are leading there with a solid advantage and are evaluating 10. For example, the most closest to the oldest mineral on Earth is Corund. He was also evaluated on this scale and has an estimate 9. That is, its value is less than 150 times!

Only on the basis of these numbers it is possible to present a significant advantage of the most solid well-known mineral. One of the bright examples is cutting glass with glass cutter with a diamond tip. It is worth only to carry out a straight line that is not shaking hand, slightly pressed the end of the glass - and ready. With the help of other elements and minerals it is difficult to achieve.

Also, it should also be noted the use of diamond hardness when king and digging mines, dungeon recesses, new metro branches and underwater channels using a special installation, the tips of which consist of diamonds and allow you to cut through even the most complex iron and granite rock.

This unit is even expensive, but pays off as compared with the payments of the workers who would have done the same volume. Especially by temporary characteristics, the installation is significantly wins. If you have not yet imagined how it may look and work, you can read the writer Jules Verne or watch the film "Expedition to the Underworld" of 2005.

Density, refractive factor and dispersion characteristics of the stone

The unique construction of the crystal lattice explains its greater density, which also finds use in various fields. Hardness and density are closely connected with each other. The higher one parameter, as a rule, above and the second.
The refractive index and dispersion is most brightly manifested in diamonds - grammar diamonds. It is in them that you can see amazing magic and the game of light, indescribable shine that will cause admiration for connoisseurs.

The diamond is so unique that the rays of the light passing through it pass according to optical laws almost perfectly, and the high refractive index ensures the "internal brightness" and an even greater light game of stone. For greater visibility and understanding, the picture presented below much better clarify you what is described by the words:

The characteristic, of course, also found its application in the most famous for diamond business - jewelry, where the most amazing and the best diamond and diamond samples mined from the depths of our planet Earth are gathering.

Unique stone characteristic - thermal conductivity

The thermal conductivity of the diamond is the largest among well-known solids and is about 0.9-2.3 kW / (m * k). As a result, the diamond is an excellent semiconductor, since the most famous silicon semiconductor elements are mainly working to a temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius.

Semiconductor equipment on diamond elements allows you to work with much higher temperatures, but, given the high cost, most often it is an unjustified luxury. There is also appropriate replacement - synthetic diamond semiconductor elements that have the same high thermal conductivity as natural stones, but worthy of much less.

The remaining significant properties

In addition to the above properties, diamond there are still many other, no less significant and useful criteria. One of these properties is that Diamond is a dielectric. This mineral does not conduct electricity.

This property is important especially in electronics, semiconductor, medical and laser technique. This feature allows you to simultaneously do electricity (thereby not to cause a short circuit and breakdown in the system) and transmit a large stream of powerful energy (for example, laser installations) without losing their qualities, nor its characteristics, nor weight. Another unique feature of diamond.

It is necessary to note the also important quality for the industry - the low rate of the friction coefficient for metal in the presence of air.

This is due to the formation of a thin film when exposed to heating. This film takes the role of a special lubricating two surfaces of the material. Maybe you noticed special diamond discs intended for a tool that can cut concrete slabs and bases, a thick-walled metal and at the same time to serve in the construction topics stores? Here, please, you have a clear use of this property substantially simplifying life.

High melting point (about 3700-4000 degrees Celsius with ambient pressure in 11 gpascals). Under normal conditions, diamond begins to burn only somewhere at 820-860 degrees Celsius.

Such a peculiar and stunning property also finds its use, for example, in those spare parts or elements of techniques that are subject to constant effects of such temperatures and where their use is justified compared to the price and payback period.

If you combine all the above properties of diamonds, we can conclude concerning the physical properties of the diamond - the value of the stone is huge, both in the field of jewelry and in a variety of industries, electronics, optics.

Magic properties of Almaz

Since the most ancient times, it was believed that such a unique stone simply should have supernatural abilities. It is enough to recall the magical skulls from the crystal and diamonds of the ancient and suddenly disappeared the people of Maya, the Epoch of Pharaohs, where all the kings and queens were simply "rusked" diamonds and dear decorations of them.

Almaz has always been considered a stone of strong people. This stone on many beliefs gives strength, courage, valor and courage. No wonder it is called "Kings Stones". It is also considered that this is a strong charm, which allows the owner to avoid negative impacts from third parties.

It should be noted that in ancient times the magical properties of the diamond could neutralize any drink from poison. It was enough to only lower the stone there and wait a few minutes. (We do not advise it to check it).

Also, the magical properties of the diamond are known in the love sphere of Amur. In the same ancient Egypt, it was believed that if you hold the stone on the tips of the fingers or take a diamond powder, then such a rite promises unlimited and retalious love until the last day.

Diamond is a stone, directly reflecting the human owner biofield. If it is good, the stone will contribute to the emergence and preservation of money, luck, love, strength and other positive manifestations. Also, the stone will prove from envious and bad actions against the owner.

In case of bad karma, usually the opposite is usually. But it may also be the likelihood that the diamond "pulls out" poor energy and will allow the "revived" to man.

For the best effect, you should wear a diamond stone so that it rushes the skin. For example, on the neck as a pendant or on your left hand as a bracelet.

Also, you need to take into account three more wishes:

as a rule, the diamond is given to a person, but do not buy for himself. Thus, it is shown recognition and honor a person, which is accepted by a diamond as proper;
the greater the person with in contact with the stone, the better, since it can affect not only on the person himself, but also on his work, personal life, an intimate atmosphere.
purchase special attention to the color before purchase. Red refers to the passionate and sharp elements of fire, blue - water calm, white - neutral.

At the end, you can talk a bit about the effect of stone and zodiac signs. Since the stone is strong, then only strong and power signs can own them, such as the signs of fiery elements.

But people who born under the sign of the fish should try to stay away from it, as it may even cause a negative impact. It should also be paid to the same color shade of a diamond or diamond.

Therapeutic magic of Almaz

The big energy potential of the stone is able to charge the positive energy of the cell of the human body and help him cope with various kinds of negative diseases.

The special influence of the diamond has a mental and psychological state of the brain, as well as to regulate normal biorhythms and the well-established work of the cardiovascular system.
