In mineralogy, diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible at ambient conditions. Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular, diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Those properties determine the major industrial application of diamond in cutting and polishing tools and the scientific applications in diamond knives and diamond anvil cells.
Diamond has remarkable optical characteristics. Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen. Combined with wide transparency, this results in the clear, colorless appearance of most natural diamonds. Small amounts of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors), which results in its characteristic luster. Excellent optical and mechanical properties, combined with efficient marketing, make diamond the most popular gemstone.

Plot: "Guardian of the Safety of the World", private citizen-scientist Captain Video, assisted by his teenage helper The Ranger and an army of Video Rangers, preserves the peace in the far-off future, fighting the evil Dr. Pauli of the Astroidal Society and a bunch of other baddies (Nargola, Mook, Kul, Clysmok). The show appeared nightly Mon-Fri, featured many outlandish weapons and techno-gimmicks, and was run on a minuscule prop budget.

Only one ambition , to find the precious stone
When I was a boy it was a vision
Now it all just seems like deja-vu
Maybe it was all a premonition
Searchin' for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh
Diamonds ( diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds ( diamonds) , he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees
Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh
Then the people shouted with emotion
Try to scale the giant pyramid
Following the writing on the sandstone
(saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Oh burning with fever , I'm dying of hunger
I'm searching all night , searching all night , all night
(break)
Then I jumped and run into the jungle
The solid ground gave way beneath my feet
Fallen inside an icy tomb forever
(the rock he was after is now out of reach)
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
