Refractive index of diamond is large\[(\mu =2.42)\], so, its critical angle is small\[({{i}_{c}}={{24}^{\circ }})\]. The faces of diamond are cut suitably so that light entering it suffers total internal reflections repeatedly and gets collected inside but it comes out through only a few faces. Diamond sparkles when seen in the direction of emerging light.
