Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, whose hardness could surpass that of conventional diamonds, opens new ...

A team of researchers has reported the first laboratory synthesis and recovery of bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal form long predicted to be harder than the conventional gems used in cutting tools ...

The world's largest source of natural pink diamonds, Australia's Argyle mine, closed in 2020. However, researchers think they have an idea of where to find more rich sources of pink diamonds. Turns ...

Diamonds form deep within the Earth's mantle, around 250 kilometers below the surface, where immense pressure (up to 10 GPa) and temperatures (around 2,200 °C) compress carbon into diamonds over ...

Delving into recent and historical discoveries, Ananya Mallik explains how diamonds track the workings of the deep Earth that are hidden from view. You have full ...

Lab-grown diamonds have become a popular choice for jewelry and engagement rings because they’re more affordable and are sourced sustainably. However, if you’re wondering whether lab-grown diamonds ...

Curtin University researchers studying diamond-rich rocks from Australia's Argyle volcano have identified the missing geological process needed to bring valuable pink diamonds to the Earth's surface ...

A pair of diamonds that formed hundreds of kilometers deep in Earth's malleable mantle both contain specks of materials that form in completely opposing chemical environments — a combination so ...
