Diamond [Noun] A very hard, highly refractive, colorless or white crystalline allotrope of carbon, used when pure as a gemstone and otherwise chiefly in abrasives. Webster's dictionary
  The diamond is nature's hardest substance, resistant to both fire and steel, This invincible strength, and its rarity, have made it an extremely coveted material, symbolic of wealth, power, magic, and love. The word diamond stems from the Latin diamas, meaning the unconquerable.
  Diamonds were first discovered in India where they were valued more for their magical powers than for their beauty. The first recorded account of a diamond used in a wedding ring was in 1477 by the Archduke Maximillian of Austria in his proposal to Mary of Burgundy. This began the tradition that remains with us today.
  The discovery of a large mine in Africa in 1870, lead to the availability of the diamond on a much larger scale. The gem that was exclusively worn by kings and noblemen became accessible to the public. This resulted in greater experimentation in the cutting and polishing of diamonds that allowed a diamond's truly unique beauty to shine above all other gems.
