Diamond is the stone for the month of April. You are lucky
you are born in April as diamond can also be the perfect gift for your loved
one. The word diamond is taken from the Greek word ‘adamas’ means indomitable
or unbreakable due to its hardness which is ‘10’ on scale.
Folklore says that God of Mines asked for world’s best gems
i.e. sapphires, emeralds, rubies to his courtiers. They found all and brought
to him colorful gems. The God took one gem from all, crushed and compounded
together and said “Let this be a thing which will combine the beauty of all
gems” and Diamond was born; invincible in hardness and pure as dewdrop. Hence,
when the rays of diamond are resolved in spectrum, it shows colors of all gems
it was made.
There are several types of diamonds; translucent, opaque and
transparent. The color of diamond ranges from colorless to black and many
colors in between. The diamonds which are used in jewelry are mostly tinted or
colorless diamonds. Basically it’s the impurities inside the diamond which
makes its color. Yellow diamond carries
little quantity of nitrogen while blue diamond contains boron.
The diamond is considered to be the symbol of innocence and
purity. It provides immense strength,
truth and trust to its wearer. Being perfect
in nature, diamond is rightly called ‘king of all gems’. It is known as master
healer for its unique abilities to unify body and mind. It is used for
providing energy and strength to brain function, sensory organs and nerves. It has
also been used to aid balance in brain hemispheres and has been used in
treatment of strokes and epilepsy.
