In mineralogy, diamond (/ˈdaɪəmənd/ or /ˈdaɪmənd/; from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is a metastable allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible at standard conditions. Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular, diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Those properties determine the major industrial application of diamond in cutting and polishing tools and the scientific applications in diamond knives and diamond anvil cells.
Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen. Small amounts of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors).
It's Classy, Not Classic is the debut studio album by American electronic rock duo Breathe Carolina. It was released on September 16, 2008 through Rise Records. Recorded in 2008 using GarageBand by Apple Inc., Even also used a MIDI controller and several beat programs to mix the tracks. It contains all of the tracks from their EP, Gossip (2007), excluding "Don't Forget: Lock the Door", which was later included on the deluxe edition of their second studio album, Hello Fascination (2009). It reached number 186 on the Billboard 200, as well as number 6 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. A music video directed by Robby Starbuck was released for the track "Diamonds", which features guest appearances by the American electropop group Millionaires and Josh White from Umbrella Clothing and This City Is Burning Records. This album has less of a focus on guitars when compared to the bands following releases.
Diamonds is a 1975 Israeli-American heist film. Robert Shaw stars in a dual role as twin brothers. Richard Roundtree, Barbara Hershey and Shelley Winters are co-stars. The film was also released as Diamond Shaft, although it has no relation to the Shaft films other than having Roundtree in the cast.
Charles Hodgson is a British aristocrat who decides to become a thief as a way of getting at his twin brother, Earl, a security expert who has built a supposedly impregnable vault in Tel Aviv, which holds a cache of diamonds. For the caper, Charles enlists Archie, a heist expert, and Sally. He also becomes acquainted with an American woman, Zelda Shapiro, who is in Israel looking for a new husband.
Looking for direction , the mighty Amazon
Only one ambition , to find the precious stone
When I was a boy it was a vision
Now it all just seems like deja-vu
Maybe it was all a premonition
Searchin' for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh
Diamonds ( diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds ( diamonds) , he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees
Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh
Then the people shouted with emotion
Try to scale the giant pyramid
Following the writing on the sandstone
(saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Oh burning with fever , I'm dying of hunger
I'm searching all night , searching all night , all night
(break)
Then I jumped and run into the jungle
The solid ground gave way beneath my feet
Fallen inside an icy tomb forever
(the rock he was after is now out of reach)
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
