DIAMOND

(Alternate Names: Adamant, Vajra Stone)

Appearance

Diamond is crystal-clear to subtly tinted, famed for its unmatched brilliance and ability to fracture light into sharp, prismatic fire. Naturally forming as octahedral crystals or water-worn fragments, it is the hardest known natural substance—cool, dense, and uncompromising in the hand. Whether raw or faceted, its presence is precise rather than decorative.

This is a stone that does not bend. It decides.

Myth & Lore

Across cultures, diamond has symbolized invincibility, divine authority, and unbreakable bonds. In Sanskrit tradition, it is linked to the Vajra—the thunderbolt weapon of Indra, representing indestructible truth and spiritual power. Medieval lore considered diamond a stone of courage and protection, capable of repelling fear and corruption.

In modern symbolic magic, diamond represents permanence: vows that do not fade, choices that cannot be undone, and will that survives pressure.
