Vermeulen Synoptic 2\AdamasADAMAS
Adam.
Diamond.
Adamant is a name applied by the ancients to various hard substances, e.g.
steel. It also is an imaginary rock with fabulous properties. The Greek word adamas means 'unyielding, invincible'.
Diamond is a cubiform mineral made of pure carbon. Unadulterated diamond is colourless and completely transparent. Its refractive index and dispersion are considerable, which explains its sparkle and beautiful colours. The hardness grade of diamond is 10; it is harder than any other material, and can therefore only be scratched by itself. When diamond is heated while cut off from oxygen, it converts to carbon. At extremely high temperatures in oxygen [1900o C] it combusts into carbon dioxide. Diamond can also be melted with a mixture of saltpetre and soda or potassium bichromate and sulphuric acid. Otherwise, diamond is chemically inviolable.
The element carbon occurs in two pure forms, diamond [the hardest substance known] and graphite [soft, black and somewhat fatty]; in impure form in charcoal, coke and soot; and in the atmosphere as CO2. Carbon, in itself the most obscure of all elements, crystallises into the most indestructibly pure material, since the diamond does not compromise its purity, and forms no compounds with other elements or long formulae. Although the colours differ, this never occurs in compounds with other elements, but rather through mixing with other elements or pollution by other elements - e.g. iron for the colours yellow to orange-brown, chromium and uranium for green, iron and fluoride for blue, and iron and germanium for red.
When exposed to extremely high pressure and temperatures, and by using a catalyst such as melted iron, graphite can be converted to diamond. There are even reports of diamonds being successfully made from peanut butter - a less obvious but tastier source of carbon!
In the periodic system, carbon is classified in group 4A, a group also populated by silicon, germanium, tin and lead. The group is located around the middle of the periodic table, exactly between the supermetals [alkali metals] and the supermetalloids, the halogens. And it is from this no-man's-land that the human being sprang, as well as all other life forms.
Because carbon reacts somewhat as a metal and somewhat as a non-metal, it can combine in countless ways. For example, there are more than two million carbon compounds [called organic compounds], approx. one and a half times the number formed by all other elements together [inorganic compounds]. In their search for an element that, like carbon, could also serve as a basis for life forms, scientists found only one: silicon, the closest family member to carbon.
In emblems, diamond often indicates the irradiant, mystic Centre. "In India, the white octahedron diamonds were dedicated to Indra the god of storms, thunder and lightening, and black diamonds to Yama the god of death. Diamonds were believed to protect the wearer from serpents, fire, poison, sickness, thieves, flood or evil spirits. ... Very large diamonds have been considered to attract misfortune. In ancient lore, the mystical power of the gem could only work when it had been freely given, and would lose its power when stolen or taken by force. A six-sided diamond was considered the most lucky; a square to be handled with care. A large triangular shaped diamond was thought to create disharmony in the household, and to lose a diamond was very bad luck. ... In antiquity, it was favoured to wear diamonds on the left side.
Romans wore diamonds on the left arm as a talisman against cowardice. They were also worn as a safeguard against insanity. When worn constantly, they were thought to maintain marital constancy." [Sherr]
Proved by P. Sankaran.
"Dr. Stephenson told us that since the Diamond was being extensively and successfully used in Ayurvedic Medicine, it deserved a proving in order that its homoeopathic indications may be discovered. When we requested A. Nelson's of London to prepare and send us a potency of Adamas, they found great difficulty in preparing a potency. As the diamond is one of the hardest substances in the world, they felt that it would wear away the mortar and pestle rather than get triturated. Ultimately they overcame this difficulty by using a special mortar and pestle, perhaps made of Agate." [Sankaran]
