While most diamonds are created deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, some diamonds are actually remnants of ancient meteorites that have crashed into our planet. These space diamonds, known as carbonado diamonds, are typically found in Brazil and the Central African Republic. What makes them truly extraordinary is their mysterious origin—scientists believe they formed billions of years ago within the cores of ancient stars before being blasted into space by supernova explosions. Eventually, these cosmic diamonds made their way to Earth, which led to a discorvery of a plane that is possibly 1/3rd diamond!

One intriguing fact about diamonds is their remarkable ability to conduct electricity. While diamonds are typically known for their brilliance and hardness, they also possess another fascinating property—electrical conductivity. Under certain conditions, diamonds can conduct electricity due to the presence of impurities or defects within their crystal lattice structure. This property has led to the development of synthetic diamonds for various technological applications, including as semiconductors in electronics and as high-performance electrodes in scientific research. Diamonds' unique combination of optical, mechanical, and electrical properties continues to inspire innovative uses in industries ranging from telecommunications to medical imaging, highlighting their enduring importance beyond their aesthetic appeal.
