Diamond

In mineralogy, diamond (/ˈdaɪəmənd/ or /ˈdaɪmənd/; from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is a metastable allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible at standard conditions. Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular, diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Those properties determine the major industrial application of diamond in cutting and polishing tools and the scientific applications in diamond knives and diamond anvil cells.

Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen. Small amounts of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors).

    Diamonds

    by: Bee Gees

    Looking for direction , the mighty Amazon
    Only one ambition , to find the precious stone
    When I was a boy it was a vision
    Now it all just seems like deja-vu
    Maybe it was all a premonition
    Searchin' for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh
    Diamonds ( diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
    Diamonds ( diamonds) , he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
    Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees
    Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh
    Then the people shouted with emotion
    Try to scale the giant pyramid
    Following the writing on the sandstone
    (saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no
    Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
    Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
    Oh burning with fever , I'm dying of hunger
    I'm searching all night , searching all night , all night
    (break)
    Then I jumped and run into the jungle
    The solid ground gave way beneath my feet
    Fallen inside an icy tomb forever
    (the rock he was after is now out of reach)
    Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
    Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
    Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
    Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
    Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
