Before the late 1800s diamonds were found in riverbeds and traded to noblemen who recognize the value of this hard crystal and utilized the diamonds for armor studding in their breast plates. Later on kings and queens used the rough diamonds to adorn their crowns, tiaras and other jewelry. They were not as beautiful as polish stones however, they were still prized for their beauty and uniqueness.
Rough diamonds are still in their natural form and have not been cut or polished. Natural diamonds are found in Octhahedra, Cubic, Macle, and Dodecahedron crystal shapes. Unless you have done some research into what rough diamonds look like it unlikely you would be able to spot a diamond in its natural setting.

When one of the tectonic plates was pushed under another the bodies of the microorganism, now carbon, is also buried under tons of rock. The carbon is subject to extreme pressures by the rock pressing down upon it and by extreme heat, which is usually between 1100, and 1400 degrees Celsius. If the carbon being acted upon is pure then the diamond will be colorless which is normal for diamonds. If nitrogen or sulfur is also included in the carbon then some color may be added to the diamond.

Companies like the Gemesis, Apollo Diamond and others are producing quality diamonds and yet the price of the man-made or cultured diamonds are only about 15 percent less than mined diamonds. Gemesis and Apollo Diamond companies are using diamond jewelry business to finance their entry into the semiconductor industry, which is where the real money is.
The first wave of gem-quality manufactured diamonds hit the market late in 2003. Man-made diamonds is nothing new and the technology has been available since the mid 19th century. Small diamond crystals were created for industrial purposes such as grinding wheels, drill bits and saw blades. What is new is that a Florida based company can now produce rough 3-carat gem-quality diamonds 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at a cost of less than $100 dollars.

Other diamond mines usually have about 20 percent considered gem-quality.

Approximately 600 tons of conventional diamonds have been mined, traded, polished since 1900. But not a single black diamond has been discovered in the world’s mining fields. The geological settings where diamonds are found or mined are virtually identical with the one exception, the Black Diamond.
Black diamonds are also called carbonados diamonds. The Portuguese in Brazil coined the term carbonados in the mid-18th century. It derived from its visual similarity to porous charcoal. Black diamonds are found only in Brazil and the Central African Republic.
