  Italian diamond jewellery @ www.18carati.com
Although the diamond is the hardest gem known to man, its composition is a simple one: it is common carbon, like the graphite of pencils, but with a structure that involves a fusion point of 6900 degrees Fahrenheit, that is two times the fusion point of steel.
Various scales of appraisal of the color of diamonds exist, one of the most used is the GIA scale (Gemological institute of America) that we summarize as follows.
Referring to the carat of diamonds “points” are often mentioned; The point of carat is the hundredth part of the carat (= 0,002 grams) and it is often used for weighing of very small diamonds.

As opposed to the common crossings, where timbering is spaced at standard 2ft 6in centres, obtuse crossings have timbering spaced according to the angle of the crossing; they are made in standard values from 1:4 to a maximum fineness of 1:8.

In diamond crossings, where crossing flange-ways are simultaneously required for both running rails, the NOMINAL track and crossing flangeway gauge must be adhered to as closely as possible, with NO gauge widening for the curvature of the road.

FRA should therefore reject AAR's request that "six months after the first FBF crossing diamond enters service, additional FBF diamonds beyond the first five could be installed." We believe that, if conditionally approved, the waiver should prohibit additional installations beyond the first five until all revenue service testing is completed and evaluated by FRA.
Each of the five FBF crossing diamond installations, if approved, shall be subject to two years of field testing in revenue service.
We believe that the foregoing recommendations constitute a reasonable approach to facilitating the incremental introduction of FBF crossing diamond technology in revenue service while simultaneously providing FRA and the industry with a reasonable window for conducting a thorough analysis of FBF performance in revenue service under variable field conditions.

 (Jeff Kirkman Memories)
At the railroad diamond was located a small "freight" shed, which seemed to front both the CI and the Monon, and an interlocking tower.
The Waite elevator was/is in the north-west corner of the crossing, and there was a siding that connected Monon and CI, which went from the west CI side to the north Monon side.
To the west the track crossed a creek, and the railroad used three culverts maybe four feet in diameter to make a bridge, the south and east flowing creek made a sort of pond to the south of the track.
