Atoms within a mineral are arranged into an orderly geometric spatial arrangement known as crystal structure. There are 14 basic crystal lattices (refered to as the Bravais lattices) which fit into one of 7 crystal system (triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, hexagonal and cubic) and all observed minerals fit into one crystal lattice and one crystal system. Diamond on the other hand is an allotrope of carbon arranged into an isometric hexoctahedral (Cubic-type) crystal system.
examples of NONPOLAR covalent molecular crystals: hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), methane (CH4),Macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (CCl4),Benzene (C6H6)examples of POLAR covalent molecular crystals: Ammonia (NH3), Water (H2O)
a salt crystal is cubic with positively charged sodium atoms having negatively charged chlorine atoms as their nearest neighbors and negatively charged chlorine atoms having positively charged sodium atoms as their nearest neighbors. these atoms are not actually bonded but only electrostatically attracted by their opposite charges. this makes for a weak brittle crystal that easily shatters.a diamond crystal is tetrahedral with very strong covalent bonds between every carbon atom. this makes for a very strong hard crystal.

Yes, both diamond and graphite have a crystal structure. Diamond has a cubic crystal structure, while graphite has a hexagonal crystal structure.
Take your crystal to a local jeweler who can use a probe to help you determine whether or not your crystal is a diamond.
No, quartz diamond crystal and diamond settings in wedding rings are not the same. Quartz diamond crystal refers to a naturally occurring quartz crystal with diamond-like inclusions, while diamond settings in wedding rings are the metal prongs or setting that hold a genuine diamond in place. The two are different in composition and purpose.
Well, honey, sodium chloride (good ol' table salt) and diamond are definitely not isomorphic. Sodium chloride has a crystal structure composed of alternating sodium and chloride ions, while diamond is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral lattice. So, they may both be sparkly in their own way, but they're as different as night and day.
Diamond is a crystal. Yes.
No, a diamond is clear carbon.
Diamond is a crystal. Yes.
Your local jeweler can help you determine whether or not the crystal coloured stone you have is a diamond or not.
Yes. Any diamond is worth more than a crystal.
