The main difference between a real diamond and a simulated diamond is that a real diamond is formed through the process of nature, and a simulated diamond is man-made, resulting in a substantial difference in cost. A real diamond is formed over millions of years in the mantle of the earth, as carbon molecules are subject to high pressure and high heat. Volcanic activity brings the rough diamond closer to the surface, where it is mined from depths of more than a thousand feet. Diamond is valued for its extremely hard and luminescent qualities. On a scale of mineral hardness (mohs scale) from 1-10, the diamond ranks 10.
