"Pleased to meet you, Cecelia," Kotasa replied, "and maybe I can shed some light on how such armor is made..."
He pulls a piece of brilliantly shimmering material, exactly in the manner of the armor.
"What your scientist did involves reforging diamond from a gem to fibers. It is then woven into a fabric, which is a stronger material than metal. My armor uses the very same material as a skeleton for the Adamantine plates that I am wearing. My armor is essentially Diamond-weave covered with a layer of Adamantine. Of course, my people cannot create diamond as readily as human scientists. For dragonoids it is time-consuming, and requires much energy for one of us to produce a diamond. Woven diamond is prized among my people, thus very few ever have a full set of the armor, nor do we have armor made entirely of it. I'm guessing Nano-Diamonds are a synthetic form of the valuable mineral that are laced with electronics."
