Diamond fits the definition of a mineral in that it is naturally occurring, a solid, composed of an element or combination of elements, and has a crystalline structure. Many minerals contain carbon. Graphite, the mineral, is also pure carbon but with a different crystalline structure. http://www.thebeadsworld.com Wholesale Gemstone Beads |
