Diamond Stability

Stability refers how well a diamond resists temperature change and chemicals. Diamonds are  very stable until and unless sudden, extreme temperature changes occurs. Those changes can cause thermal shock, which can create new fractures or cause existing one to spread.

Diamonds burn : 1562 degree farenheit / 850 degree Celsius

Apperance : looks white and cloudy
