|| Diamond Diamond is the hardest substance on Earth. The majority of diamonds are small, flawed and colored by dark impurities. It is used as an abrasive and in cutting and grinding applications. Industrial diamonds are embedded in large steel drill bits to drill into rock for wells to find water, oil, and natural gas. Natural diamonds are found mainly in two environments. Most are found in kimberlites, which are pipe-like formations created as a result of volcanic and tectonic activity. The second source is placer deposits. The diamonds are easily weathered out of the kimberlite rock and are washed away by streams and rivers. When these streams slow down, the diamonds are left in placer deposits. One country they are found in is Africa.
 * 1) Describe what the mineral is used for.: Because of its light weight, resistance to corrosion and tensile strength, it is excellent for the construction of the structure of a building. Because it can easily be rolled into sheets, much is used for aluminum foil. Aluminum powder is sometimes used in certain types of paint.
 * 2) Where is the mineral found and mined? What country or countries: Aluminum is moslty found in rocks and mostly on the Earth's substance. It was first found near Les Baux, France and mined Africa and in France, Surinam, Jamica, and the United States—mainly in Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia.
