It is surprising how one stone such a plain and simple structure can become so popular and desirable. This is the Diamond. "Diamond" comes from the Greek adamao, transliterated as "adamao", "I tame" or "I subdue". The adjective "adamas" was used to describe the hardest known substance, and eventually became synonymous with diamond. It is difficult to determine at what point in history the hardest known substance became diamond. "Adamas" may have previously referred to the next hardest mineral, corudium - the gem variety is sapphire - or to something else altogether. Tracing the history of diamond is complicated by this problems with names.
