A Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India. Deceiving others with synthetic diamonds is specifically mentioned as a transgression against non-stealing in Jainism. According to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, diamonds fall under the rulership of the planet Mars, and also very strongly under the star Agol. Because of its connection to Mars, and thus the element of iron, the presence of diamonds will negate the properties of lodestone and the two minerals should not be placed near each other during magical workings.

-'''Devil's Gate Dam''' is a flood control dam in the Arroyo Seco in northern Pasadena between La Cañada Flintridge and Altadena. The location is the narrowest spot on the Arroyo Seco's course below Millard Canyon. [[Occultist]]s [[Jack Parsons]] and [[Aleister Crowley]] believed the site of the dam was a portal to [[Hell]].

-Devil's Gate is so-named because of the natural rock feature at the site which resembles [[the Devil]]. A 1947 article in the ''Metropolitan Pasadena Star-News'' states that Devil's Gate was named in 1858 by Judge B.S. Eaton because of "its resemblance to a point of that name on Sweetwater Creek." Judge Eaton explained in a letter that he had seen the original point in 1850 when traveling along the old California trail with a team of oxen.
