Do Diamonds Come From Coal ?

Coal & DiamondThere are 4 different processes that create Diamonds and not one of them is through coal. Diamonds forming from Coal is a myth. The following are Not Myths. 1. Diamonds are Formed in earth’s crust - or to be more exact is in the earth’s Mantle. Now the earth’s Mantle is 150 kilometers below the Earth’s surface. Only in that particular area is the required temperature and pressure to actually form a Diamond . Now this does not occur in all areas of the Earth’s Mantle which is a150 kilometers below the surface but it does occur in areas near volcanoes. There we have the right conditions for the formation of Diamonds from carbons not coal that originated in these areas. One may ask, how do the diamonds get closer to the surface ? Well when a volcano erupts in the Mantle which is below the continental plate it pushes up the mantle and everything in it closer to the surface of the Earth. This is one of the places that Diamonds are found. 2. Diamond formation in Subduction Zones: This is similar to Diamonds being formed in the Mantle of the Earth’s crust. In this case the area of formation is in the upper Mantle. The pressure and temperature needed to form these diamonds is from the shifting of the oceanic plates. In this scenario, coal is a possible source for the diamond formation. After all there is carbon in limestone and other rocks found in the ocean. When Subduction occurs it pushes the diamonds to a depth of 50 kilometers, so it’s a lot closer to the surface. 3. Diamonds From Asteroid Impact Sites: Imagine a 6 mile wide asteroid impacting Earth at 12 miles a second. This has an effect of over 100 nuclear bombs. Where the surface temperature is hotter than the Sun. On impact many carbon based rocks or even coal will be transformed into small diamonds. When investigating a crater in Arizona diamonds were found there. 4. Conclusion: Diamonds do not Come from Coal It’s very simple really. Let’s try to understand something about Coal. Coal comes from plants. So We have proof that Diamonds are older than plants by over 100 Million years. Plant debris turns into Coal. By the time that happened, there was already diamonds on the planet. Therefore, there is no way that diamonds came from Coal.

The Green Trend - Eco-friendly jewelry

Eco Necklace Archeological digs dating back many thousands of years prove the fact that jewelry has always been a desired part of human existence, from the rich and powerful to the average worker on the street. Man or woman, old or young, people like to adorn themselves with beautiful accessories. Unfortunately however, these days, most jewelry comes from a very sad and scary unconscious place. Many pieces of jewelry begin with precious metals and gems that are a part of warfare and bloodshed, and others are cultivated from fragile ecosystems, thus damaging the environment. Wouldn't you like to know where your jewelry is coming from and to take comfort in knowing that there has been no violence, bloodshed or environmental destruction from the beautiful piece that hangs around you neck? For many people, living "environmentally conscious" has become a part of life. For those that are making an effort to be aware of sustainable resources, fashionable jewelry that is repurposed and "green" is a growing trend. Eco-friendly jewelry is made from materials which are from both recycled and renewable resources. Materials can come from old jewelry, from nature, such as recycled coconut and seashells, or recycled materials from any piece of junk that you can think of. Imagination is the only limitation regarding materials and design. By purchasing and wearing eco-friendly jewelry, you are not only wearing beautiful art but also serving a purpose. Eco-friendly jewelry is an expression of your own eco-consciousness. It is the desire to conserve, the desire to be connected to the protection of the earth and the desire to make a difference. Jewelry made from things that are already in existence decreases the need to further damage the planet. So when you are getting ready to purchase a piece of jewelry, think about where it comes from and how it was made. Remember, the energy that is put into that piece is what you are wearing on your skin. There are many eco-friendly jewelry designers to choose from nowadays that are inspired by nature and use materials that would most likely have ended up in a landfill had they not been repurposed into jewelry. Alkemie Jewelry, headed by husband and wife design team Ashley Lowengrub and Dara Gerson, is a perfect example. Their entire jewelry line is a unique reflection of Mother Nature and made and sourced from 100% reclaimed metals.
