The diamond is the April birthstone. This gemstone symbolizes strength, longevity, and everlasting love. Its hardness has earned it the status of the world’s hardest material. As such, the birthstone has long been associated with royalty. In fact, the word “diamond” is actually derived from the ancient Greek word adamas, which means unconquerable or unyielding physical form. Since the 4th century, this stone has been worn by royalty. Its strength and hardness has made it the perfect stone to be a gift for a loved one, and it has been around for thousands of years. It is one of the hardest materials on earth, and only other diamonds can scratch it.
The April birthstone is the hardest gemstone known to mankind. It is 58 times harder than any other natural substance, and it is the only one of its kind that’s composed entirely of one element. Because of this, it tends to have a brilliant clear color. However, some naturally occurring diamonds also display “fancy” colors. This is because certain colors were traditionally considered to distinguish different societal castes, and only rulers were allowed to wear the purest white gems.
The April birthstone, the diamond, is the hardest substance known to man. On the Mohs scale, it is 58 times harder than any other natural gemstone.
