NB: This is not a true diamond. It is a form of naturally occurring quartz found on the Arabian Peninsular and takes its name from where it is found and how it can be cut and polished to simulate a diamond. It has an advantage over cubic zirconia in that it is a natural semi-precious gemstone rather than a man made alternative. It has a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs scale.
