POKERMAHAOmaha Hieste o variant de holdem care

devine oarte popular, n principaldatorit numeroaselor posibiliti acombinaiilor de mini. n Omaha Hi,ecare juctor ncepe cu patru crihole n loc de dou.

Fie c este vorba despre joc on-line sauntr-o sal de jocuri comercial ( b&m),Omaha Hi se joac la el. La el ca n ca-zul majoritii ormelor de poker, Oma-ha Hi utilizeaz un set de cr i standardormat din 52 de cri. Omaha Hi este,de obicei, jucat de 9 sau 10 juctori on-line.

Blind-uriFiecare mn Omaha Hi ncepe cu doublind-uri. Blind-urile sunt pariuri pre-

liminare cute de doi juctori naintede a se ace crile, pentru stimulareaaciunii. Dac nu ar exista nimic dectigat, primul juctor care trebuies ia decizia nu ar avea motive s acun pariu. Poziia din care se ac crileeste indicat printr-un un disc alb, et-ichetat D, denumit butonul dealer-uluisau, mai simplu, butonul. Aceasta estepoziia din care dealer-ul va distribuicrile dac dealer-ul este unul din-tre juctori. naintea de distribuirea

crilor, juctorul din partea stnga butonului pune se egale cu (de obi-cei) jumtate din pariul minim pentru

joc. Juctorul din stnga acelui juctorpune se egalecu pariul minim pentru joc.

Aezare la masCnd v aezai pentru prima dat lamas, trebuie s ateptai ca blind-ulmare s ajung la poziia dumneavoastr.

Acest lucru se ntmpl n mod natural,deoarece butonul se mut o poziie sprestnga (n sensul acelor de ceasornic)dup ecare mn. Alternativ, pentru

a primi cri imediat, v putei nscrieimediat dac punei un blind care areaceeai mrime cu blind-ul mare. Dacv nscriei, vi se mpart cri imediatla minile succesive.

Fiecare juctor trebuie spun un blind mic i un blind mare npot, ecare o dat pe tur. Dac rataiblind-urile ntr-o tur, trebuie sateptai e ca blind-ul mare s ajungla dumneavoastr, e s postai ambeleblind-uri care lipsesc. Putei ace acest

lucru o singur dat. O valoare egalcu cea a blind-ului mare este parte dinpariului dumneavoastr. (Joac pentrudumneavoastr.) O valoare egal cu di-mensiunea blind-ului mic devine partea pot-ului i nu ace parte din pariuldumneavoastr. De exemplu, ntr-un

joc cu limit 2 $ / 4 $, dac ratai blind-urile i nu ateptai ca blind-ul mares ajung la dumneavoastr pentrua reintra n joc, punei 3 $ n pot, dincare 2 $ ar considerai parte a pari-ului dumneavoastr cnd este rnduldumneavoastr n prima tur, i 1 $se consider c aparine potului - careurmeaz s e ctigat de eventualulctigtor al potului.

Prima turCnd blind-urile sunt puse, dealer-uldistribuie patru cri, una o dat, cuaa n jos, pentru ecare juctor, n-cepnd cu blind-ul mic. Aceste patrucri de pornire sunt denumite crihole. Crile dumneavoastr hole aparcu aa cu aa spre dumneavoastr peecran, dar nu v acei probleme, doar

dumneavoastr v putei vedea crilehole. Doar spatele crilor hole alecelorlali juctori apar pe ecran. Toiceilali juctori au o vedere similar,putndu-i vedea doar propriile crihole.

Fiecare juctor ncepe cu patrucri hole n loc de dou (de apt, uneleb&m oer variante cu cinci sau asecri, dar nu vei gsi aceste varianteon-line.) Dup care, dealerul aeaz

cinci cri cu aa n sus pe mas.Aceste cri comune ac parte din mnaecrui juctor, astel nct ecare

juctor are acces la nou cri. O altdieren ntre Omaha Hi i holdemeste c ecare juctor ormeaz o mnmare din cinci cri util iznd doar dou(nici mai multe, nici mai puine, nspot oricare dou) din crile sale holempreun cu doar trei (nici mai multe,nici mai puine, ns pot oricare trei)din cele cinci crile comune.

hand. Alternatively, to get dealt inimmediately, you can post, that is,put in a blind the same size as thebig blind. I you post, you get dealtin right away and on succeedinghands.Each player must put both a smallblind and a big blind into the potonce each per round. I you evermiss the blinds in a round, youmust either wait or the big blindto get to you, or post both missed

blinds. Tis you do at one time. Anamount equal to the size o the bigblind is part o your bet. (It plays oryou.) An amount equal to the sizeo the small blind becomes part othe pot and is not part o your bet.For example, in a $2/$4 limit game,i you miss the blinds and do notwait or the big blind to get to youto get back into play, you would put$3 into the pot, o which $2 wouldbe considered part o your bet whenit is your turn to act on the rstround, and $1 would belong to thepot-to be won by the eventual win-ner o the pot.

First RoundWhen the blinds are in place, thedealer distributes our cards oneat a time ace down to each player,starting with the little blind. Teseour starting cards are called holecards. Your hole cards appear aceup on screen, but dont worry; only

you can see your hole cards. Onlythe backs o every other playershole cards appear on screen. Everyother player has a similar view, withonly his own hole cards visible.

Each player starts with our holecards instead o two (In act, someb&ms oer variants with ve oreven six hole cards, but you wontnd those variants online.) Tenthe dealer places ve cards ace-up in the center o the table. Tesecommunity cards are part o eachplayers hand, so each player hasaccess to nine cards. Another di-erence between Omaha Hi and

holdem is that each player ormsa ve-card hand by using only two(no more, no less, but they can beany two) o his hole cards togetherwith only three (no more, no less,but they can be any three) o theve community cards. Many morewinning combinations are possiblethan in holdem. Holdem has justone two-card starting combina-tion; Omaha Hi has six.Even i you havent had experiencewith Omaha Hi,you dont have toworry which are the best cards; thesotware automatically chooses thebest ve or you when it comes timeto compare hands.For example, i your hole cards in-clude three aces and there is one aceon the board, your best hand doesnot have our aces. I a pair alsowas on the board, your best handwould be a ull house, aces ull. Iyour ourth card was a king and theboard was A Q J 10 9 o three di-

erent suits, your best hand wouldbe an ace-high straight, the nutsor this particular fop. You makethis hand by using the A K romyour hand in combination with

Omaha Hiis a variant o holdem that is becom-ing very popular, due mainly to itsmany hand combination possibili-ties. In Omaha Hi,each player startswith our hole cards instead o two.

Whether online or in a brick-andmortar cardroom (b&m), OmahaHi plays the same. As in most ormso poker, Omaha Hi uses a standard52-card deck. Omaha Hi is usuallyplayed 9- or 10-handed online.

BlindsEach hand o Omaha Hi starts withtwo blinds. Blinds are preliminarybets made by two players beorecards are dealt or the purpose o

stimulating action. I there wasnothing to win, the rst player tomake a decision would have no rea-son to make a bet. Te deal positionis indicated by a white disk, labeledD, called the dealer button, or, sim-ply, the button. Tis is the positionrom which the dealer would dis-tribute cards i the dealer were oneo the players. Prior to cards beingdistributed, the player to the leto the button puts in chips equal to

(usually) hal the size o the mini-mum bet or the game. Te player tothat players let puts in chips equalto the minimum bet or the game.

Sitting DownWhen you rst sit down at a table,you must wait or the big blind to ar-rive at your position. Tis happensnaturally, because the button movesone position to the let (clockwise)ater each

the Q J 10 on the board. (You mightwell split the pot, however. Anyonewith K Q, K J, or K 10 among his holecards would also have an ace-highstraight.) You can see more aboutcombinations and what beats what

in Hand Rankings.Omaha Hi,as any orm o poker, isabout betting. Omaha Hi has ourbetting rounds. Te sizes o the betsdepend on the structure o the game,o which Omaha Hi has three possi-bilities: limitgame

pot-limitgame

no-limitgame

Te betting on the rst round alwaysstarts with the player just to the

let o the big blind. Tis position issometimes called under the gun. Inthe picture above you are under thegun. As the rst player, you havethree choices. You can: fold

open for the minimum

(limp) openforaraise

You choose your action by clicking ina dialog box. I you old at any point,your cards are removed rom play

and no longer appear on the screen,you are out until the next hand, andyou have no urther interest in thepot. I you old, the next player hasthe same choices. I everyone olds,including the small blind, the pot

goes to the big blind, and the nexthand is dealt.I you or anyone else opens, each suc-ceeding player has three choices: fold

call, that is,match the pre-ceding bet raise, that is, increase the

preceding betEach player in turn has the samethree choices. I there has been araise, each player who chooses to

continue must either call the totalbet thus ar or himsel raise. In anyone round o betting, there can be amaximum o one bet plus three rais-es. When the betting (also called ac-tion) gets to the blinds, they have thesame choices. However, they alreadyhave chips in the pot, and thosechips count towards their bet. Forexample, i, in a $2/$4 limit game,you had opened or $2, and two play-ers had raised, the total bet would

be $6. When it was the turn o thesmall blind, that player could old.Te player could call, by putting $5into the pot. (He already has $1 in.)Or that player could raise, by put-ting $7 into the pot. Tis would cap

the betting or that round, that is,cause it to reach the maximum. (Potlimit and no limit games have no capon the number o bets that can bemade.)

Similarly, the big blind, who alreadyhas $2 invested in the pot, gets in or$2 less. I there have been no raiseswhen the bets gets to the big blind,that player has what is called the op-tion. He can opt to raise, in which

case each active player in turn is o-ered a choice o calling the raise orreraising-or olding. Te big blindcan also choose not to raise, whichstops the betting or that round. Tebig blind in this option situation isknown in poker parlance as a liveblind.

ti dorit vreodata sa jucatiCraps? Mai mult probabil,veti descoperi un joc intimi-dant sau prea complicat pen-

tru a va obosi sa-l invatati. Adevarul este canu este simplu sa invatati Craps, cel mai en-tuziasmant joc dintr-un cazino - de cei care

si-au invins temerile si au invatat regulile.

Acest articol va invata bazele jocului deCraps, incluzand regula de Shooter, de Passsi de Rolled. Aceste reguli undamentale deCraps vor oeri jucatorilor o baza excelentapentru a invata jocul de craps.

Prima etapa o constituie intelegerea con-ceptului de Shooter, de ce se cheama Shoot-er, si cand zilele de Shooter sunt terminate.

Aceasta este cunoscuta ca regula de Shooter.Jucatorii joaca pe rand la rolul de Shooter -persoana care arunca zarurile- in sens orar.

Acelasi joc de Shooter continua prin arun-carea zarurilor pana cand se ajunge la CrapsOut, prin aruncarea unui 2, 3 sau 12.

Intr-un cazino terestru, ata de cazino-urile online, regulile de Shooter presupunca trebuie sa utilizati o singura mana pen-tru a arunca zarurile si acestea se lovesc deperetele opus al mesei de Craps inainte de ase opri.

In continuare, vom aborda regulile Rolledde Craps. Aceasta deneste actiunile caretrebuie luate in unctie de aruncarea zaru-lui. Prima aruncare de Shooter este numita

Aruncarea de Come Out. Aruncarea de ComeOut stabileste Punctul . Daca prima ar-uncare este de 7, 11 sau Craps (2, 3 sau 12),Punctul este suma zaruri lor in aruncarea deCome Out. In cazul unei aruncari de 7 sau 11,Shooter-ul arunca un nou joc de Come Out,pentru a reincepe. In cazul unui joc de Craps,zarurile trec la umatorul Shooter si jocul re-

incepe.

Cand un Punct este stabilit, Shooter-ulva continua sa arunce zarurile pana candPunctul este atins din nou. De exemplu, o ar-uncare de 4+6 este un 10, si se obtine Punctul10. Rolul shooter-ului este de a arunca un a lt10 sau 7 ara sa se obtina Craps (2, 3 sau 12).Daca Shooter-ul realizeaza Punctul sau sauun 7, i se readuce zarul pentru a reincepe otruncare de Come Out. Daca Shooter-ul ar-unca un Craps (2, 3 sau 12), zarurile trec la

jucatorul direct pe stanga - noul Shooter.

Acum va explicam regula de Pass, cel mai

simplu pariu din Craps, pe care jucatorii ilplaseaza inaintea aruncarii de Come Out. Inunctie de regula de Pass Rule, o linie de Passeste un pariu pe Shooter, parierea de a obtinearuncarea unui 7 sau a unui 11 pe aruncareade Come Out sau stabilirea unui Punct siaruncarea lui (sau 7) inainte de aruncarea

Craps (2, 3 sau 12).

Un pariu de linie de Pass poate plasat pearuncarea de Come Out. In cazul unei arun-carii de 7 sau 11, pariul de linie de Pass cas-tiga. Daca se arunca Craps (2,3 sau 12), par-iul este pierdut. Daca se stabileste un Punct,pariul de linie de Pass devine un pariu etalonpentru iesirea Punctului inainte ca jucatorulajunge la Craps Out sau arunca un 7.

Regula de Pass unctioneaza invers pentruun pariu Dont Pass, iar jucatorul pariazaimpotriva Shooter-ului. Acest pariu poate plasat pe aruncarea de Come Out. Regula dePass ace ca un pariu de Dont Pass sa castigedaca aruncarea de Come out este de 2, 3 sau12. Daca un 7 sau 11 se arunca, pariul DontPass pierde. Daca se stabileste un Punct, par-iul de linie de Dont Pass devine un pariu eta-lon pentru a NU iesi Punctul inainte de a seajunge la 7 sau la Craps (2,3 sau 12).

oate pariurile si odds-urile restante coboara

direct din reguli le de Shooter, regulile Rolledsi regulile de Pass. Prin intelegerea corectaa acestor reguli undamentale, un nou juca-tor de Craps poate continua sa invete cumsa joace jocul complicat dar extrem de inte-resant de Craps.

id you ever wantto learn to playCraps? Most like-

ly, you ound the game too intimi-dating or just too complicated tobother learning how to play. Tetruth is, learning to play Craps isnot only quite simple, it is com-monly reerred to as the most ex-citing game in a casino - by thosewho conquered their ears andlearned hot to play it, that is.

Tis article will teach the un-damentals o Craps, including

the Shooter Rule, Pass Rule andRolled Rule. Tese undamentalCraps rules will give new players agreat start in learning how to playcraps.

rst step is to under-stand who the Shoot-

er is, why he is the Shooter, andwhen his Shooting days are over.Tis is reerred to as the ShooterRule. Players take turns being the

Shooter - the person who rollsthe dice - in clockwise ashion.Te same Shooter continues roll-ing the dice until he Craps Out byrolling a 2, 3 or 12.

In a land-based casino, as opposedto online casinos, the ShooterRules state you must only use onehand to roll the dice, and theymust bounce o the opposite wallo the Craps able beore comingto a stop.

Moving on, well discuss what isknown as the Craps Rolled Rule.Tis denes what action is takendepending on the roll o the dice.

A Shooters rst roll is called theCome Out Roll. Te Come OutRoll establishes the Point. Unlessthe rst roll is a 7, 11 or Craps (2,3 or 12), the Point is the sum othe dice on the Come Out Roll. I a7 or 11 is rolled, the Shooter rollsa new Come Out Roll, essentiallystarting over. I Craps is rolled,the dice are passed to the nextShooter and play begins anew.

Once a Point has been established,the Shooter will continue rollingthe dice until the Point hits again.For example, a roll o 4+6 is a 10,making the Point 10. Te shoot-ers job is to roll another 10 or 7without rolling Craps (2, 3 or 12).I the Shooter makes his Point or a7, he is returned the dice to begin anew Come Out Roll. I the Shooterrolls Craps (2, 3 or 12), the dice are

handed to the player directly onhis let - the new Shooter.

to explain the PassRule, the most sim-

plistic bet in Craps, which mostplayers place beore the Come OutRoll. According to the Pass Rule, aPass Line bet is a bet on the Shoot-er, betting that he will accomplishhis goal o rolling a 7 or 11 on theCome Out Roll, or establishing aPoint and rolling it (or 7) beore

rolling Craps (2, 3 or 12).

A Pass Line bet can only be placedon the Come Out Roll. I 7 or 11is rolled, the Pass Line Bet wins.I Craps is rolled (2, 3 or 12), thebet loses. I a Point is established,the Pass Line bet becomes a stand-ing wager that the Point will comeagain beore the player Craps Outor rolls a 7.

Pass Rule works in re-verse or a Dont Pass

bet, where the player is bettingagainst the Shooter. Again, thisbet can only be made on the Come

Out Roll. Te Pass Rule states thata Dont Pass bet wins i the ComeOut Roll is a 2, 3 or 12. I a 7 or 11is rolled, the Dont Pass bet loses.I a Point is established, the DontPass bet becomes a standing wa-ger that the Point will NO comeagain beore a 7 or Craps (2, 3, or12) is rolled.

All o the remaining wagers andodds descend directly rom theShooter Rules, Rolled Rules andPass Rules. Tereore by obtain-ing a ull understanding o thesethree undamental rules, a newCraps player can go on to learn toplay the excitingly intricate gameo Craps.

Sandra Bullock pentru cea mai bun actri. Jeff Bridgespentru cel mai bun actor, nici o problem pentru cei carecunosc istoria de atribuire i sentimentalism.

Dezbaterea a fost facuta pentru a stabili dac acest tip dejocuri de noroc foloseste abilitaile care se gsec n joculde poker, sport sau de fantezie. Hotrrile Curii n SUA aufost mprite cu privire la legalitatea pokerului din cauzaproblemei la nivelul de aptitudini implicate n ctiguri.

Reprezentantul Massachusetts Barney Frank a propus olegislaie care ar rsturna UIGEA. Este absurd de a avea ozon gri in ceea priveste jocurile de noroc, aceasta fiind sipremiza de la care a plecat Frank.

Frank prevede o ar n care oamenii vor s li se permit sjoace de la computerele proprii, sub form de divertismentiar in SUA guvernul protejeaz consumatorul fa de po-sibilitatea corupiei n jocurile de noroc online.

Frank doreste ca orice persoana sa aiba voie si po-sibilitatea de a paria pe actorul preferat fara a se ajungein tribunal. Exista posibilitatea de a explica gresit unui

judector ce competene te-au facut sa alegi un anumefilm, iar acest lucru poate duce la o condamnare.

here is an ongoing debate around the US betweenwhat is legal, or illegal, gambling. e Unlawful In-ternet Gambling Enforcement Act that was created

in 2006, was supposed to shed light on the legality of on-line gambling in the country.

Instead, the UIGEA further jumbled the law, leaving someforms of gambling to be up to interpretation. One of those

forms of gambling is offi ce pools or wagers that were madein anticipation of this year's Oscar's ceremony.

e top awards for motion pictures were given away lastnight, and thousands of people tried their hand at predict-ing the winners. ese people, many of whom gambled onthe event, used many different techniques to pick theirwinners.

e UIGEA allowed for skill to be the determining factorin whether or not a gambling activity is legal. ose whochose e Hurt Locker on Sunday evening, will tell anyonethat will listen that it was a skillful choice.

Sandra Bullock for Best Actress, a no-brainer for the well-trained eye. Jeff Bridges for Best Actor, no problem forthose who know the history of the award and the senti-mentality that sometimes is involved in a selection.

e debate has been raised over the weekend as to whetherthis type of gambling is on par with the skill that is found inthe game of poker, or fantasy sports. Court rulings aroundthe US have been split on the legality of poker because ofthe question of skill level involved in the winning.

Representative Barney Frank from Massachusetts has pro-posed legislation that would overturn the UIGEA. It is theabsurdity of having a gray area of what is legal gamblingthat is part of Frank's driving force to change the law.

Frank envisions a country where people will be allowedto gamble from their own home computers as a form ofentertainment. A US where the government protects theconsumer against the possibility of offshore online gam-bling corruption.

Most of all, however, Frank must see a vision of a personbeing allowed to bet on their favorite actor or actress with-out the possibility of ending up in a courtroom. e pos-sibility of having to explain to a judge what was the skillthat led them to their choice for Best Film, with the wronganswer leading them to a possible conviction.

leaves are harvested and aged using aprocess that combines use o heat andshade to reduce sugar and water contentwithout causing the large leaves to rot.Tis rst part o the process, called cur-ing, takes between 25 and 45 days andvaries substantially based upon climaticconditions as well as the construction osheds or barns used to store harvestedtobacco. Te curing process is manipu-lated based upon the type o tobacco, andthe desired color o the lea.Te second

part o the process, called ermentation,is carried out under conditions designedto help the lea die slowly. emperatureand humidity are controlled to ensurethat the lea continues to erment, with-out rotting or disintegrating. Tis iswhere the avor, burning, and aromacharacteristics are primarily broughtout in the lea.Once the leaves have aged properly, theyare sorted or use as ller or wrapperbased upon their appearance and overallquality. During this process, the leaves

are continually moistened and handledcareully to ensure each lea is best usedaccording to its individual qual ities. Telea will continue to be baled, inspected,unbaled, reinspected, and baled againrepeatedly as it continues its aging cycle.When the lea has matured according tothe manuacturers specications, it wil lbe used in the production o a cigar.Quality cigars are still hand-made.Anexperienced cigar-roller can producehundreds o very good, nearly identical,

cigars per day. Te rollers keep the to-bacco moistespecially the wrapperand use specially designed crescent-shaped knives, called chavetas, to ormthe ller and wrapper leaves quickly andaccurately. Once rolled, the cigars arestored in wooden orms as they dry, inwhich their uncapped ends are cut to auniorm size. From this stage, the cigaris a complete product that can be laiddown and aged or decades i kept asclose to 21C (70F), and 70% relativehumidity, as the environment will al low.Once cigars have been purchased, properstorage is usually accomplished by keep-ing the cigars in a specialized woodenbox, or humidor, where conditions canbe careully controlled or long periods

use diferent varieties o tobacco or theller and the wrapper. Long l ler cigarsare a ar higher quality o cigar, usinglong leaves throughout. Tese cigarsalso use a third variety o tobacco lea,called a binder, between the ller andthe outer wrapper.Tis permits the mak-ers to use more delicate and attractiveleaves as a wrapper.Tese high-qualitycigars almost always blend varieties otobacco.Even Cuban long-ller cigarswill combine tobaccos rom diferentparts o the island to incorporate sev-eral diferent avors.In low-grade and machine-made cigars,chopped tobacco leaves are used or theller, and long leaves or a type o papermade rom tobacco pulp is used or thewrapper which binds the cigar together.Tis alters the burning characteristics othe cigar, causing hand-made cigars tobe sought-ater.Historically, a lector or reader was al-ways employed to entertain cigar ac-tory workers.

A couple of weeks ago ,the rst casino ever in Singapore was opened by theGenting Group. Now, Las Vegas Sands has announced thedate when the other authorized casino will open its doorsto customers.

Sands issued a statement on Wednesday an-nouncing that the rst stage o Marina Bay Sands will beopen on April 27th. Tat date makes the project ahead oschedule ater a long delay caused by the economic reces-sion.

Late in 2009, LVS held an initial public oeringin Asia. Te companys Asian arm raised enough cash inthat oering to re-start the Singapore casino project thathad previously stalled. Originally, Marina Bay was ex-pected to be the rst casino opened in Singapore, but thedelay helped Resorts World Sentosa to grab that title.

Much like many US gaming companies are ex-ploring options internationally, the Genting Group is con-templating a move to the US. No concrete plans have beenmade, but during the opening o Resorts World, Gentingocials alluded to the act that they had discussed the USas a possible destination.

Te rst phase o the Marina Bay project will includethecasino, a 963 room hotel, a convention center, dining op-tions, and part o a shopping mall. Te next phase will

be opened in the uture, but phase one should be morethan enough to disrupt the operations o Resorts WorldSentosa.

Analysts believe that Marina Bay will are betterthat Resorts World. Te Genting Group, however, is stillplanning on opening a Universal theme park to help Re-sorts World compete.

Diamondshave been a source of fascination for cen-turies. ey are the hardest, the mostimperishable, and the brill iant of all pre-cious stones. e word diamond comesfrom the Greek word adamas, meaningunconquerable.

A diamond is a transparent gem made ofcarbon, one of the earths most commonelements. e formation of diamonds be-gan very early in the earths history, whenthe condensation of solid matter into asphere caused the centre of the planet tobecome subjected to incredible extremesof temperatures and pressure.It was these conditions that caused de-

posits of carbon to begin to crystallisedeep in the earth. As the earths surfacecooled, volcanic activity forced streamsof magna ( liquid rock) to the surface, car-rying with it the diamond crystals. Later,the diamond-bearing rock hardened, en-casing the diamonds in vertical volcanicpipes.But not all diamonds are found where

they first came to the surface. Subsequenterosion of the topsoils over millions ofyears washed some of the diamonds intostreams and rivers, and sometimes as faraway as the sea. It is highly probable that

they were first discovered in areas such asthese, far away from their original loca-tion.e atomic structure of a diamond givesit the property of being the hardest sub-stance known to man, natural or syn-thetic. e diamond is thousands of timesharder than corundum, the next hardestsubstance from which rubies and sap-phires are formed. Even after many yearsof constant wear, diamonds will preservetheir sharp edges and corners when most

other stones will have become worn andchipped.However, many people expect a diamondto be unbreakable. is is not true. Adiamonds crystal structure has hardand soft directions. A blow of suffi cientforce, in a very exact direction, can crack,chip, split or even shatter a diamond.
