DIAMOND

fr. L. adamas, the hardest iron, steel, diamond, Gr. Adamant, Tame.]
1. A precious stone or gem excelling in brilliancy and beautiful play
of prismatic colors, and remarkable for extreme hardness.
Note: The diamond is native carbon in isometric crystals, often
octahedrons with rounded edges. It is usually colorless, but some are

known. The diamond as found in nature (called a rough diamond) is
cut, for use in jewelry, into various forms with many reflecting

Brilliant, Rose. Diamonds are said to be of the first water when very
transparent, and of the second or third water as the transparency
decreases.
