Jewel of the Week

This jewel of the week is diamond. Diamond is one of the hardest gems in the world. It is harder than any rock in the world. Diamonds allow light to be reflected and exit as a rainbow. Diamonds are created under immense heat and pressure hundreds of miles below sea level. Volcanic  eruptions pushed them upwards after 100 million years of formation. The ancient Greek and Romans believed that diamonds were tears of the gods and splinters of falling stars. Diamonds wre thought to bring good luck and success.
