Science has its own explanation for these wonders of nature. Lake County has
been the scene of incredible volcanic activity throughout its ancient past.
Mount Konocti, the area's defining landmark, is a dormant volcano where past
lava flows of magma and basalt were contained under enormous pressure with
temperatures of not less than 1,112 Fahrenheit. Heat and pressure resulted in
the formation of beta silicon dioxide crystals - Lake County Diamonds - of
unsurpassed clarity and the finest optical quality.
Lake County Diamonds are mostly clear and very hard, ranking from 7.5 to 8
(and possibly as high as 9) on the Mohs Scale, and like all diamonds, they can
cut glass. They have been used commercially and industrially, but are in
greatest demand as semi-precious gems. Lake County Diamonds may be set uncut
for a rough natural look, or faced to set off their inner fire which compares
in brilliance to African carbon diamonds.
