Explanation:
One of the most significant differences between diamonds and other gemstones sits within the formation of a diamond. Diamonds are the only gem formed from a single element - highly pressurised carbon. All other gems are compounds of two or more elements. For example, sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum, an aluminium oxide. The sapphire's intense colour comes from traces of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, copper, or magnesium.

Answer:
Diamonds are the only gem formed from a single element. All other gems are compounds, that is combinations of 2 or more elements. Gem stones are crystals of certain elements or compounds. For example, a diamond is the crystalline form of carbon.
