Answer:
It is typically about 99.95 percent carbon. ... Diamond's crystal structure is isometric, which means the carbon atoms are bonded in essentially the same way in all directions. Another mineral, graphite, also contains only carbon, but its formation process and crystal structure are very different.

Answer:
Structure
Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. At room temperature and pressure, another solid form of carbon known as graphite is the chemically stable form of carbon, but diamond almost never converts to it.
Properties
Besides the hardness, diamond provides an impressive combination of chemical, physical and mechanical properties:
Hardness.
Low coefficient of friction.
High thermal conductivity.
High electrical resistivity.
Low thermal expansion coefficient.
High strength.
Broad optical transparency from ultra violet to infra red.
