word adamas - unconquerable. This universally known precious stone holds a
unique position because of several remarkable properties. Chemically it is like
an ordinary lamp black, nothing more than carbon in its pure form. It has many
varieties, the finest one being colourless. Blue white is a fine colour
although most of the stones are yellowish or brownish. The colourless with a
blue tinge or which throws blue and red rays and is without black dots is
supposed to be the most auspicious. But if there is filth in the middle or
corners, it should be treated as inauspicious. Similarly black dots or red dot
drop is considered inauspicious.

on water displays seven colours of the rainbow, that which is light in weight
but looks large, that which is round but explicitly exhibits all its eight
facets, that which is without lines or dots is a 'male diamond'. The Diamond

the angles are turned, that which is round, large and heavy in weight is known
as 'eunuch diamond'.
