THE INVINSIBLE AND UNIQUE

The diamonds do not only have any equal among the metamorphic rocks but is unique even among all the procureable objects on earth. It is indeed the Vajra, the thunder, owned by the Gods' king, Indra, which is made of the diamonds. The Vajra is such powerful that by its dazzling thunderous strokes of lightning its cleaves any density of the clouds and down the life-sustaining downpour to create the streams, rivers and seas.Diamonds is attached to thunder and the Lord Indra for several justified reasons. It is said; Lord Indra has killed the demon king, Wali, by hurling the vajra or thunder and got many new gems and jewels.

It is also said in Indian mythology, when Lord Indra failed to conquer another demon king Vritrasoor, then he went for years of penance to win the blessings and suggestion that there lived a pious and humanity's well wishing saint named, Dadhichi, who agreed to part with his bones, could help make the weapons that would kill the demon king. Indeed, the weapons out of these bones are considered the Vajra, the invincible weapon for any demons for that matter. Found in the metamorphic shapes these jewels have been named by the Sanskrit scholars as Vajra. Even in English the word diamonds' is a derivative of the Latin word 'admas' which actually means invincible.
