Bible | Adamant (Heb. shamir), Ezek. 3:9. The Greek word adamas means diamond. This stone is not referred to, but corundum or some kind of hard steel. It is an emblem of firmness in resisting adversaries of the truth (Zech. 7:12), and of hard-heartedness against the truth (Jer. 17:1). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of adamant, denotes that you will be troubled and defeated in some desire that you held as your life. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
Literature | Adamant is really the mineral corundum; but the word is indifferently used for rock crystal, diamond, or any hard substance, and also for the magnet or loadstone. It is often used by poet for no specific substance, but as hardness or firmness in the abstract. Thus, Virgil, in his Æneid vi. 552, speaks of "adamantine pillars" merely to express solid and strong ones; and Milton frequently uses the word in the same way. Thus, in Paradise Lost, ii. 436, he says the gates of hell were made of burning adamant: "This huge convex of fire Outrageous to devour, immures us round Ninefold, and gates of burning adamant Barred over us prohibit all egress." Satan, he tells us, wore adamantine armour (Book vi. 110): "Satan, with vast and haughty strides advanced, Came towering, armed in adamant and gold." And a little further on he tells us his shield was made of adamant (vi. 255): "He [Satan] hasted, and opposed the rocky orb Of ten-fold adamant, his ample shield A vast circumference." Tasso (canto vii. 82) speaks of Scudo di lucidissimo diamante (a shield of clearest diamond). Other poets make adamant to mean the magnet. Thus, in Troilus and Cresida, iii. 2: As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, as turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant." ("Plantage to the moon," from the notion that plants grew best with the increasing moon.) And Green says: As true to thee as steel to adamant." So, in the Arabian Nights, the "Third Calendar," we read: To-morrow about noon we shall be near the black mountain, or mine of adamant, which at this very minute draws all your fleet towards it, by virtue of the iron in your ships." Adamant is a (negative) and damao (to conquer). Pliny tells us there are six unbreakable stones (xxxvii. 15), but the classical adamas (gen. adamant-is) is generally supposed to mean the diamond. Diamond and adamant are originally the same word. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Since diamond is now used exclusively for the hardest gem, adamant has mostly poetic or figurative use. As an increasingly archaic word, it - and its adjectival form adamantine - is especially often seen in fantasy fiction. For instance, in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Galadriel's ring Nenya is also named the "Ring of Adamant".
Adam Adamant Lives was a BBC television series in the 1960s.
The Adamant Music School is a piano school located in the village of Adamant, Vermont just north of Montpelier. The Adamant Press is also located in the village.
The Adamant was an iron barque (sailing ship) that brought immigrants to New Zealand in the late 19th century.
