Answer 1

Explanation:

the mineral which is cool under the sun is called diamond

diamond is more valuable

Since the value of gold is predictable and stable, gold has more value than diamonds. Natural diamonds are created when carbon is subjected to extreme pressure over millions of years. ... Only a highly prized diamond, like a very large stone or an unusual color, will hold its value or become more valuable over time.

Answer 2

We are asked to determine which is the diamond and which is the quartz from the two clear minerals that the teacher gives us. The diamond will be differentiated from quartz as under:

• The shapes of both these minerals are different.
• The quartz is hexagonal while the diamonds are isometric.
• The isometric form means that the diamonds are cubic in form.
• These two minerals are looks very similar to each other but still, there are a few differences.
• One of the differences is to look down from the minerals from the top with the point of crystal aimed at your eye.
• The quartz will have six sides while a diamond will have only four sides.
• The diamond will be much more valuable than the quartz.
• On hardness, the diamond scores a 10 while the quartz only is a 7 which is the lowest jewelry grade gemstone while diamond is the hardest substance.
• Due to this, quartz is less valuable when compared to a diamond.
