Difference between Diamond and Lonsdaleite

Diamond vs. Lonsdaleite

Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. Lonsdaleite (named in honour of Kathleen Lonsdale), also called hexagonal diamond in reference to the crystal structure, is an allotrope of carbon with a hexagonal lattice, as opposed to the cubical lattice of conventional diamond.

Allotropes of carbon

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes (structurally different forms of the same element) due to its valency.
