Jewel (/ˈdaɪəmənd/or/ˈdaɪmənd/) is a metastable allotrope of carbon, where the carbon molecules are organized in a variety of the face-focused cubic precious stone structure called a jewel cross section. Precious stone is less steady than graphite, yet the change rate from jewel to graphite is immaterial at standard conditions. Precious stone is prestigious as a material with superlative physical qualities, a large portion of which start from the solid covalent holding between its particles. Specifically, jewel has the most elevated hardness and warm conductivity of any mass material. Those properties decide the major mechanical use of precious stone in cutting and cleaning instruments and the logical applications in jewel blades and precious stone blacksmith's iron cells. 

In light of its to a great degree inflexible cross section, it can be polluted by not very many sorts of contaminations, for example, boron and nitrogen. Little measures of deformities or polluting influences (around one for each million of cross section particles) shading jewel blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), dark colored (grid surrenders), green (radiation introduction), purple, pink, orange or red. Precious stone likewise has moderately high optical scattering (capacity to scatter light of various hues). 

Most regular precious stones are shaped at high temperature and weight at profundities of 140 to 190 kilometers (87 to 118 mi) in the Earth's mantle. Carbon-containing minerals give the carbon source, and the development happens over periods from 1 billion to 3.3 billion years (25% to 75% of the age of the Earth). Precious stones are conveyed near the Earth's surface through profound volcanic emissions by magma, which cools into molten rocks known as kimberlites and lamproites. Jewels can likewise be created artificially in a HPHT technique which roughly reenacts the conditions in the Earth's mantle. An option, and totally unique development method is concoction vapor affidavit (CVD). A few non-jewel materials, which incorporate cubic zirconia and silicon carbide and are frequently called precious stone simulants, look like jewel in appearance and numerous properties. Exceptional gemological procedures have been produced to recognize characteristic precious stones, engineered jewels, and precious stone simulants. The word is from the old Greek ἀδάμας – adámas "unbreakable".
