Diamond the shape?

Question

Is a diamond a real geometric shape? And if so what are some math characteristics to it or jsut information on it?
Thank You :) :)

Answer 1

In geometry, the diamond shape is called a "rhombus".

In geometry, a rhombusis a 4-sided shape in which all of the sides are of equal length and opposite sides are parallel.
If any angle of an equilateral quadrangle is a right angle, then all its angles are right angles and it is also a square.
The diamond shape is when 2 interior and opposite angles are less than 90 degrees.

Answer 2

I think your instinct of not getting a heart shaped diamond b/c it's a little childish, is the correct one. Round NEVER goes out of style, it's a classic, and will look smart and stylish right now, or 50 years from now. Don't go with the trends when it comes to diamonds. Go to Tiffany's website and see what they offer (if only for ideas). You will see that a round diamond is timeless.

Answer 3

A diamond crystal is two four sided pyramids base to base. The shape is determined by the shared bonding of the 6 carbon atoms that make up the molecule.

Answer 4

Rough diamonds are actual geometric shapes--each individual as snowflakes. Chasing down mathematical characterstics is akin to a dog chasing it's tail unsuccessfully; you'll have better luck finding the formula to guarantee a win to "Rock, paper, scissors".

Cut diamonds, however, DO employ mathematical dynamics that can be better explained by a reputable jeweler who cuts diamonds. That's who you'd need to speak with.
