A diamond is a transparent crystal of carbon atoms and are the hardest
natural material known to man.
Diamonds are commonly judged by the “four Cs”: carat, clarity, color, and cut; and the name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek adamas (αδάμας; “invincible”). Roughly 49% of diamonds originate from central and southern Africa, although significant sources of the mineral have been discovered in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, and Australia.
This is a collection of 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 solitaires weighing in total 5.36 carats, costing just under $4,000.

Found the photo on a gizmag article www.gizmag.com/new-superhard-form-of-carbon/20145/
I followed the link here because those diamonds don't look real to me. I wanted to check out what the photographer actually said about them. Now I'm wondering why they look so fake. Maybe it's something about the color and/or the small size of the pieces.

If they are fake, the owner of the jewellery-diamond store is in for a surprise! But given the sparkle throughout the store it's probably a combination of the camera (it was a point & shoot) and their size :)
