Literary analysis:
In literature, “diamond” is often employed not just as a gemstone, but as a vivid descriptor of light and clarity. Writers use the term to evoke a sense of brilliance and purity—almost as if a scene or a character is imbued with an ethereal, crystalline glow. For instance, a writer may describe an object as “a splendid diamond,” suggesting that it shines with a dazzling radiance [1], or compare the clarity of water to that of “a diamond of the purest water,” emphasizing its flawless, luminous quality [2]. This luminous imagery can extend to human features as well, such as “diamond eyes” that sparkle with an intense, captivating light [3]. Even whole landscapes might be rendered with exuberant detail, as when a setting “shone in the winter sun as if powdered with diamond dust,” creating an atmosphere of subtle, glittering wonder [4].
  1. Splendid means imposing; as, “a splendid woman”; shedding brilliant light or shining brightly; as, “a splendid [201] sun”; “a splendid diamond.”
    — from A Desk-Book of Errors in English Including Notes on Colloquialisms and Slang to be Avoided in Conversation by Frank H. Vizetelly
  2. Anyone could have seen it was a diamond of the purest water.
    — from Courage, True Hearts: Sailing in Search of Fortune by Gordon Stables
  3. The diamond eyes proved to him no fancy.
    — from Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 22
  4. Bayport was buried under a white coverlet, three feet thick on a level, which shone in the winter sun as if powdered with diamond dust.
    — from Cy Whittaker's Place by Joseph Crosby Lincoln
