THE EVENING STAR. The Newest Artificial Diamonds. Within the past year some very fine imita- tions of diamonds have been put upon the New York market, tar su: ng in impidity and retractive powers the known to the public under varions deceptive pames. The new imitations, like the old ones, mrport to be species of cheap “diamonds” rom the gold-producing countries of the world, put the appellations are purely fanciful, for they are only superior articles of paste. Some deslers claim them to be a kind of quartz, but | that is true only to the extent that pulverized quartz enters into their composition, mixed with borax, alamina. glucina, arsenic, oxide of tim or other ingredients. They are not cut from the solid quartz, which is less brilliant | than the common pastes. The exact processof making these highly successful imitations is known only to the manufacturers—in Paris or Germany, for not one is made in this country, | so far as known—and is, of course, jealously guarded by them. No respectable jeweller attempts to pass off | Swindlers may sometimes | paste as diamonds. buy fine specimens from the dealers and trade them away at the regular diamond price; but | such cases must be rare, for Any person of the least common sense, who thought of purcha- sing a diamond from sn individual not in the trade, would be sure toconsult a jeweler or other expert in precious stones, by whom the fraud would be detected in an instant. No aste can stand all the tests of the diamond. ts warmth to the touch, its retention of moist- ure, the ease with which it can be scratched | by agate or tepaz, the minute air-bubbles which a microscope discovers in its depths, all prove it isan imitation. But the skillful eye can tell the real diamond from the false at a glance. The former hasa hardness of lustre, a cold glitter of refracted light, which the finest pastes just miss. None but the most expe- rienced judges can retain & memory of the icy Jambency or adamantine splendor of the gen- | aise goat. so that they can always apply it as a test. Ordinary judges will be deceived by the im- proved pastes; and any lady, who might be | expected from the richness of her attire to wear diamonds, may swing out the pastes from her ears, or display them on her fingers, without fear of detection, till the brightness of the imi- tation has departed; for it goes sooner or later, with the most careful usage. The permanent lustre of crystalized carbon is its one precious | wholly inimitable quality. This or stability, it may be remarked, characterizes all the precious things ot nature, gold, silver, dvory, and every one of the gems. Imitations, which are almost perfect in other respects, fail in that. It is nature’s last, impassable barrier against art. So tar with the paste manufacturers. A more interesting branch of the subject is the chemical, or strictly scientific production of diamonds from their native material carbon Some of the first chemists in the world have de voted years of toil to this task, without suc- cess. Microscopic diamonds have been made or are reported to have been. Becquerel, a French chemist, produced minute crystaliza- tions having the hardness ot diamonds, by the slow action of electricity on box-wood char- coal (a very pure form of carbon,) but they were nearly black. Another Frenchman last year claimed to have made diamonds, by the rmanence reaction of phosphorus onsulphideof carbon, | both being urder water. The sulphide of car- bon dissolved the phosphorus, and the latter, it was said, slowly combined with the sulphur, treeing the carbon which crystalized ont. Nobody ever saw the diamonds—bat the maker, Many experiments have been made with this remarkable fiuid (sulphide of carbon,) and from it, it trom any source, the artificial dia- monds must come. it consists of pure sulphur and pure carbon, im the proportions of about five of the former to one of the latter. The carbon ingredient is, in fact, diamonds in a state of fluidity, = sessing the wonderful refractive power ‘of the real gems. The exceeding brilliancy of the sulphide of carbon adapts it peculiarly for use in prisms, for spectral analysis—that new de- ‘peranest of modern science by which some of ie most extraordinary discoveries of the age have been made. Now, if it were possible to isolate the carbon and let it crystalize out, | diamonds could be made. Ordinary attempts to decompose the fiuid by electricity, give a | deposit of sulphur on one pole, and of black | charcoal in small grains, on the other. Silver bas & powerful affinity for sulphur; and an English chemist tried the effect of immersing pastes formerly | @rFrIicIAL. Waz DgPaRTMENT, June 19, 1964. Major Benton, U. 8.
