The diamond has a highest non-metallic luster, this property is called as adamantine.
Explanation:
- The diamond has a very bright luster because of its ability to reflect the high percentage of light that strikes its surface.
- The diamond has a prism like appearance, which increases the reflection of light incident on the diamond at different angles giving diamond a sparkling appearance.
