Diamond - The Gemstone of the Beautiful Venus

Venus, Shukra, Diamond, White SapphireAccording to the sacred texts, the gem of Venus is Diamond. The Achrya Shukra is the Daitya Guru or the guru of Asuras. The Diamond has a tremendous capacity to attract. The wearer's look is enhanced to a great extent and creates a sexual appeal in the person who wears it.

Venus is feminine, self-indulgent, beautiful, and attractive. It rules over the sensitive side of human nature. Venus is shown riding a horse, like a romantic hero. He is famous as the teacher of demons or Asuras. In one hand he holds scrolls, because he is a writer of scriptures and in another hand a sword to overcome obstacles. In his third hand he holds a lotus of purity and in his fourth hand the reins of the horse of heroic desires.

Diamond - Scientific Gemological Data


Hardness & Toughness:

Hardness 10 on Mohs scale
Toughness Usually excellent, but vary according to the bonding of atoms in a Diamond. Diamonds are tougher in the directions where atoms are bonded tightly together, less tough where they're not so tightly bonded. The weakest directions are the ones where the atoms are farthest apart.
Specific Gravity 3.52
Refractive Index 2.42

Stability:

Environmental Factor Reaction
Heat High heat can cause change in color or clarity, and can damage or destroy fracture and cavity-fillings
Light Generally stable, but irradiated yellow or orange stones fade quickly; heat from bright light can cause oil to leak or dry out
Chemicals Can harm fillings and remove oil; soldering flux containing boron, and firecoat made with boric acid powder, will etch the surface of even untreated stones

Diamond Care and Cleaning

 

Type of Cleaning Advisability
Ultrasonic cleaning Usually safe, but might damage stones that are fracture filled or porous
Steam cleaning Usually safe, but intense pressure can actually harm some stones
Warm, soapy water Usually Safe, but avoid strong detergents and vigorous scrubbing on oiled stones
