Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Natural diamonds form deep in Earth’s mantle under high pressure and temperature, commonly billions of years ago, and reach the surface through kimberlite or lamproite eruptions. The visible jewelry setting is human-made.

Uses & applications

Diamonds and gold are used in jewelry; diamond also has industrial cutting and abrasive applications.

Geological facts

Small clear stones in jewelry may be diamond, moissanite, or cubic zirconia; visual inspection alone is insufficient to distinguish them.

Field identification & locations

Check for a metal hallmark and have the stones and setting tested by a jeweler or gemologist; the image does not establish a geological specimen’s identity.
