The traditional birthstone for April, diamond gets its name from the Greek word adamas, which means "hardest" or "unconquerable," likely given to diamond because of its extraordinary hardness. Though the early Greeks couldn't have known it, diamond ranks 10 on Mohs' scale of hardness, proof that it is in fact the hardest material on Earth.
Diamond has an extensive human history that dates back thousands of years, and though mankind has known about diamonds for a very long time, diamonds were formed billions of years ago. Yes, billions! They were formed deep within the planet, approximately 90 to 120 miles below the surface, at temperatures and pressure difficult to imagine. We never would have had the opportunity to know these amazing creations if nature hadn't intervened, forging paths to the earth's surface through which the diamond-bearing material (kimberlite or lamproite) could pass. Over time, that material was eroded and carried away into alluvial, littoral, and marine sources--all what geologists refer to as secondary deposits. Secondary deposits were the first to be worked by ancient cultures. Although there are thousands of kimberlitic and lamproitic pipes, only about 15 percent contain diamonds. Of that 15 percent, only about 5 or 6 percent are commercially viable. That equates to about two dozen working mines to meet the world's demand for diamonds.
Diamonds have been at the heart of myth and legend since their discovery. In Greek mythology, diamonds were tears of the gods; in Roman mythology, diamonds were splinters from the stars that Eros, the god of love, had made into tips for his arrows. Medieval knights wore them uncut on their armor in the belief that they could make a person invincible, a myth no doubt related to the stone's hardness. There are legends of a diamond that could reveal the guilt or innocence of a person. Diamonds could also drive away the devil, and in the days when gems were believed to cure disease and ill fortune, diamonds were thought to amplify the magical powers of other stones a person wore.
Almost universally, diamonds have been associated with virtue, purity, strength, wealth, power, and love. So it was a small jump for diamonds to become the modern symbol of love - diamond wedding rings have been popular for hundreds of years. They were believed to ensure fidelity and strengthen emotional bonds. Today, they are the preferred gift for all manner of romantic occasions.
There is one important footnote to the magic of diamonds: the magic was lost if the stone was acquired by purchase. When found or given as a gift, however, it would convey its power to the recipient, which no doubt accounts for how diamonds became such a popular gift between lovers.
