Diamonds are immortal

Everyone knows diamonds are very precious stones and they look very beautiful but there is a fact that "nothing can destroy a diamond except heat ! " Yes the only thing that can destroy a diamond is heat when you take a hammer and smash a diamond it only breaks into pieces but heat is something that can b burn it away .  You can still see a diamond  pieces when smashed by a hammer but when it comes to heat  you can 't see the pieces or the diamond. when a diamond is being burnt it gets mixed up with other gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide and comes in contact with air  , although diamonds are almost immortal they can be also called as "a women 's best friend ".
