Gemology

I have been practicing gemology for over 20 years. I love this stuff; especially diamonds. They are unique in the world of gems. Nothing else has the unique qualities of a diamond. They are 200 times harder than the second hardest gem. They are 4 to 5 billion years old (as old as the earth itself). They have brilliance and dispersion that rival none. They resist all chemical attack, are almost impossible to scratch except with another diamond and they will last for generations. All this from the most simple composition, nothing more that crystallized carbon. The same stuff a pencil lead is made from. They are simply amazing. If you have any questions about diamonds or gemology please contact me.
