Diamonds are special for a number of reasons. Initially, diamonds are formed 90-100 miles below the Earth's crust. Secondly, diamonds take a billion years to form and work their way to the surface. Thirdly, diamonds are the hardest naturally-occurring substance. The world's largest diamond is extra special in that it also managed to remain whole and at a weight, size, and color than surpasses all other diamonds. The Greek derivative for diamond means unbeatable and the Golden Jubilee Diamond is an excellent example of the strength and durability of the diamond.
