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.
