Genesis of Diamonds
Rough Diamond Evaluation and Grading
Lesson 1
The Journey Begins…
Everything on earth is made of atoms. Each atom is composed of three smaller particles or ‘sub-atomic particles’ called protons, electrons, and neutrons. They are arranged in a specific way so that protons and neutrons are huddled together, in what is known as the ‘nucleus’, and are orbited by electrons in ‘shells’. The number of protons and electrons in an atom is always equal, and the number of neutrons generally follows suit.
