It&#8217;s him, with his 99.95 percent of carbon atoms composing him, making him hard, fiery and sparkling: the Diamond!<\/p>\n<p>Hardness makes it unique: it is so hard that only another Diamond can scratch it, but it is extreme rarity that determines its value.<br \/>\nUnlike bananas that grow on trees, the supply of diamonds is very limited. In fact, an average of one thousand tons of mineral must be excavated to extract a rough Diamond of about 0.30 carats. The Diamond is forever not because the slogan says so, but because it has:<br \/>\n1) timeless charm.<br \/>\n2) icy beauty.<br \/>\n3) infinite duration over time, thanks to its hardness, its resistance and its stability.<\/p>\n<p>Diamonds survive a violent and brutal journey that begins in the Earth&#8217;s mantle, only to appear like a miracle in the arid deserts of South Africa, in the frozen Canadian tundra, or somewhere lost in the world.<br \/>\nThe companies that excavate the mines not only must work in often inaccessible places, but they must also build the equivalent of a city around the mine to house and feed hundreds of workers.<br \/>\nRarity, intrinsic beauty and the tremendous effort required to extract it are the key reasons why Diamond commands the highest market prices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.istitutogemmologico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/4c-3-diamond.png\" alt=\"4c-3-diamond\" width=\"508\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.istitutogemmologico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/4c-3-diamond.png 306w, https:\/\/www.istitutogemmologico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/4c-3-diamond-300x252.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The G.I.A. 4Cs were the 3Cs two thousand years ago<\/h2>\n<p>When judging a Diamond, various qualities (value factors) must be taken into account that can make it of extremely different value.
