What is the difference between “scarce” and “rare”? [on hold]












-1
















What is the difference between
"scarce" and "rare"?
And how to say this? diamond is (rare, scarce).




My English teacher has said that there is a difference between the two words, later, I asked him for more explanation but I couldn't fully understand. He said that rare, e.g. Rare pearl, is to describe the valuable thing and scarce for the thing being elusive and can't be easily obtained as there is not enough of it.
