Diamonds are known for their spectacular brilliance, mainly due to the complete internal light reflection.
The critical angle for the diamond-air interface is very small, so when light enters a diamond, it will probably be completely reflected internally.
In nature, diamonds rarely display the brilliance they are known for. It's the technical ability of a diamond cutter that brilliantly sparks diamonds.
By suitably cutting the diamond, several internal reflections can be made to a cutter that makes the diamonds so brilliant.
By suitably cutting the diamond, multiple internal reflections can occur.
