Publisher page

Abstract

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes due its valency. Diamond is one of the well-known allotropes of carbon. The hardness and high dispersion of light of diamond make it useful for both industrial applications and jewelry. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) classifies natural diamonds from D grade (colorless) to Z grade (light yellow). The blue diamonds fall under a different grading scale [1].
