A diamond has no impurities. Other gems that are colored do. When it gets hot enough or for another reason if that material dissolved in a liquid, if it is cooled ever so slowly, the atoms from the gemstone begin to stack on top of each other. If it cools too quick, other things might settle and break the crystal lattice, interesting conclusion though, no one knows how crystals are first formed
