How rare is a Natural Diamond?
According to the estimations, there are about 1,000 diamond mines in the world. Out of these mines, a hundred of them are economically profitable, but de-facto, only 30 of these mines are active today.
In addition, only 30% from the total production of the active mines turn into decorative diamonds that are set in jewelry. The rest are considered to be industrial diamonds that have a very low value.
Therefore, it is obvious that diamonds, and especially diamonds that have a gem quality, are rare elements of nature. There is also no doubt, that the discovery, the mining and the production of the diamonds is a great challenge. In addition, most of the active mines today produce less diamonds than they did in the past.
The raw diamonds that weigh one karat and more, and have high levels of color and clarity, are considered the rarest of the natural diamonds. They are essentially luxury products, and they can definitely serve as an asset to preserve a value.
How are Lab Grown Diamonds different from Natural Diamonds?
Many people claim that the diamonds that are manufactured in the laboratory are identical to the natural diamonds. This is only true in regards to the chemical structure of the stone.
Essentially, a diamond is a certain arrangement of carbon atoms. The atoms are arranged in a certain manner that well reflects the light. At this point, the similarity between the laboratory diamonds and the natural diamonds stops.
While the laboratory diamonds are created in the factory under exact controlled conditions of heat and pressure, the natural diamonds are an uncontrolled natural phenomenon that takes millions of years.
The nature creates the diamond throughout a process of millions of years that takes place in the ground. After the diamond is discovered by man, then throughout its polishing its color may change from white to pink and up to a rare blue color, and its price may rise up to the roof.
How can you even think of comparing such a product with one that was created in the laboratory by man?
The diamond buyers have to understand that the natural diamonds are not mass- produced. Every diamond is unique, it has its own personal story, from which mine it was extracted, and what is so special in it and its extraordinary shape?
