DIAMOND-KING OF THE GEMS

It is well understood that any unique thing that stands out of other average equals are gems or in Sanskrit Ratna. Even our ancient kings and emperors used the best and the most talented people of their assembly as Ratnas or gems. In the metamorphic world the three special qualities transcend one object to the level of a gem. These qualities are beauty, durability and rare availability. If an object undergoes wear and tear very easily that cannot be fit for procurement or such object cannot be called a gem.

We cannot compare any high quality diamonds with the ice-block or a transparent crystal piece for the obvious reasons. Hence considering the beauty of the mass, rare availability and tremendous durability, the diamond pieces can easily be called the most dependable crown among the jewels. The irony is, after mined out of its metamorphic base, say weighing about five tones of ore is mined in order to produce a few carats of diamond.
