I'm not a scientist but surely theres a threshold density for diamonds that is far above rocks/living objects?

- dragonwriter 7y ago> surely theres a threshold density for diamonds that is far above rocks Nope, diamond is 3.51g/cm³, some rocks are in the same density range.
- Florin_Andrei 7y agoDiamond's density is 3.5 g/cm3, nothing special.
- brippalcharrid 7y agoDensity of rocks seems to top out around 3.2 g/cm³[0], but if you could find a way of scanning for material that was 99%+ Carbon and which had the density of diamond (3.51 g/cm³) and you could detect very small buried items, then that might be a start. https://chem.libretexts.org/Ancillary_Materials/Exemplars_and_Case_Studies/Exemplars/Geology/Density_of_Rocks_and_Soils https://chem.libretexts.org/Ancillary_Materials/Exemplars_an...
