Diamond dust is a cloud composed of tiny ice crystals that forms near the ground. An ice fog initially forms as tiny drops of liquid water that then freeze. Diamond dust forms directly as a crystalline piece of ice. The shape of these ice crystals is similar to tiny, thin, six-sided pencils.

Diamond dust also is used as a coating to protect materials from abrasion, and also as a polish to add shine. Scratch-proof windows, surgical knives, heat sensors, stereo speakers and even cooking pots use a diamond dust coating for protection and to ensure long-lasting durability.

2 Answers. It is worth 100gp. Don’t overthink it. Although in reality taking a valuable diamond and turning it into powder would likely reduce its total value, D&D/Pathfinder does not model prices of luxury items in that much detail.

Diamond dust, one of the most dangerous poisons known, can kill slowly and gradually and without leaving any trace of a crime, if so used.

If you run it through enough times with a smaller and smaller gap, you eventually get diamond dust. And that diamond dust will still scratch any other gemstone, because it still has the hardness of diamond.

No, it wouldn’t melt as the aptly named /u/MoltenSlag has pointed out. It wouldn’t burn in most lavas, either.

While gold is sometimes found in extinct volcanoes, Dr. Goff said, the Galeras volcano is venting commercial amounts of gold from its fiery top. This is the first time scientists have detected visible gold particles in an active volcano.

In Minecraft, the diamond level and lava level are the same. Therefore, the best way to find diamonds in Minecraft is to look near lava. Diamonds are not in lava.

There, a type of material called kimberlite magma forces its way up from deeper in Earth’s mantle, cracking the solid rock. As it rises, the magma collects fragments of rocks, like floodwaters picking up silt and gravel. Some of these fragments contain diamonds.

For over a century, mineral prospectors have known that a rock known as kimberlite often contains diamonds. Find kimberlite, and you’ve got a much better chance at finding diamonds. Now, a geologist has an even easier way to find diamonds—just look for a palm-like plant called Pandanus candelabrum .

Modeled prices ranged between US$129 and US$355 per ct for the diamond populations of the major kimberlite units making up the Star and Orion South kimberlites.

Kimberlite, also called blue ground, a dark-coloured, heavy, often altered and brecciated (fragmented), intrusive igneous rock that contains diamonds in its rock matrix.

When kimberlites are treated with sulfuric acid, the calcite dissolves with evolution of carbon dioxide; the calcium released in this process gets bound into gypsum.

Diamonds occur between the Y-coordinates 5 and 16, though they occur most often between layers 5 and 12. You can check your Y-coordinates by opening your map (console and PE), or by pressing F3 (PC) or Alt + Fn + F3 (Mac).
