- "Finding a real diamond should not be that difficult―carbon is one of the more common elements."

Diamonds were gemstones valued by pirates. They could be worth anywhere from one thousand to three thousand credits per Coruscant Standard Carat. A large number of mines were located on Arkania.
A stylus used by Yaru Korsin in 3000 BBY was made of diamond.
Uvak-mounted Keshiri of the Alanciari military's air force successfully used diamonds as a flak projectile weapon.
Corran Horn used a diamond in the construction of his dual-phase lightsaber. However, the first gem he used turned out to be Kubaz xirkonia instead, which burned out during a confrontation with Shala the Hutt. Corran later replaced it with a real diamond.
