The diamond waste would make great aquarium gravel!

[@karenlee3198]

Actually interesting thought! It's still graphite carbon so it still retains properties of carbon for "bioactive" use? What about soil enrichment?

[@Moontanman]

@@karenlee3198 I doubt diamond would be bio available due to its density and chemical resistance.

[@jesseg4908]

I recently just purchased a blue princess cut diamond 1 carat SI2 from JTV and I love it! Diamonds are so fascinating ! I’m happy that they can come in all colors

[@PaulNurse1]

Rebecca is sooo adorable

[@GwynEllisHughes]

SERIOUSLY LOVE Preston's new cut!!!! REALLY suits him. 😊

[@jupiterjanes]

Totally agree, looks so good!!

[@largent45]

That was a fabulous episode! I had no idea there was so much waste and possible inclusions that are generated in lab grown diamonds! It's a much different process than I imagined! I know with mined diamonds it takes so much heat and pressure and time, to make a diamond in the earth, and the possibility of inclusion can be much higher when they are forming in the earth, but I had no idea that you could get inclusions like that, where they can be loupe visible in a lab grown diamond! What a fascinating process! And those glow balls are just the coolest! I really do hope that they or someone can find a use for all the waste from this process. I mean if I was understanding correctly, then it has the hardness of diamond, just not the optical quality of diamond so there has to be a use for it somewhere! Right!?! That would be a cool episode, where everybody send in your thoughts and ideas for uses and test them out! Who knows, someone may actually have the perfect use for this stuff! Thank you Preston for the education and enlightenment! And you too Rebecca! Great show! ❤

[@oscarmedina1303]

What a fabulous and timely episode. I've always wanted to learn more about how they grow diamonds. Preston and Rebecca did a great job of letting us know. Would love to purchase a glow ball.

As a future gemologist I am glad there are videos like this.

Real talk ? What r u paying for school??? Atm because I'm a newbie gemstone and specimen collector with very limited resources? But I am in love with the fields so please let me know realistically what it's looking like with you considering I'm considering pursuing the same path???? Thanks .

[@jaredschrock5270]

The bad diamond bits would make a great blasting media for sand blasting.

[@MrInsaint]

Awesome!! and thank you for sharing the GOOD STUFF💯👍💯💎💯

[@ccrisc100]

I think when people say they are fake, is because they are manufactured. Part of the whimsy of a gem is its nature.

[@beartutor3377]

Unfortunately you are incorrect. A gem is determined by it’s chemical properties not by its origin… ❤

[@barbaraeidinger6826]

Market the 'glow balls'! This was soooooo cool. Thanks. And congrats to Preston for losing the ponytail look... short looks great.

[@hannagyllensten475]

Yea, my first thought was: I want one of those! ;-)

[@keithyinger3326]

I was thinking the same thing. Set them in resin and use them in jewelry. They would look amazing!

Muy buen video,me gustaría que hagan un vídeo de diamantes natural en bruto,son muy hermosos en Estados natural,, abrazó desde argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@TheMarkvanes]

I wonder about all of the tests they have done with the waste and failed material. Like. Is it just straight up carbon. What happens if you reheat it. Or if you use a similar pressure as wit the hpht?

[@austinenderle151]

I'd love to get my hands on the seed plates and the HPHT slices

[@keithyinger3326]

I would love to get some of those glow ball structures. I think those would look amazing set in resin as a necklace or if they're small enough, a pair of earrings.

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

Such an awesome video! I hate diamonds cuz of the debeers bs, and even I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into these stones. We use a lot of graphite in the thermoelectric materials lab, but these rocks trump that 😂 holy hell! Thank you for showing all the steps they take to grow these single crystals, as well as our awesome sis Rebecca honestly geeking out over all this just like we would! She's the best 🤗

[@Demarco911]

Thank you !

May i know whats the rectangular shape diamond called? Is it called emerald cut?

[@victorperez1368]

Yea baby

[@rainbowstar2775]

The diamond seed is a natural green diamond?

[@emilypeters8888]

So they want to know what to do with the black sand from the fails. The first thing is to publish what is, I mean is it very dense graphite or has it transformed at all there is a lot one could do with ultra dense graphite alone.

Please note Rebecca is keeping it classy and flashing her natural diamonds or at least some of them on this episode!!!!!

[@Baseball4Life-]

lol no one cares 😂😂, lab diamonds are on the rise bud

[@beartutor3377]

You don’t know that. They are indistinguishable

[@Freddie9787]

they're better than mined diamonds because there is no blood shed in the process

[@emilypeters8888]

Okay so poly crystal diamond just mill it down and sell as an abrasive. As far as the glow balls collectors may or maybe powder them and use as thermal interface material if the properties are good.

[@fennynough6962]

Sandblasting machines, might work well with these diamond scraps. Earth boring drill machines, would be another use.

Are these poly diamonds also diamond-like in their hardness and stability?

[@breakeverychain7]

Same

[@christopherleubner6633]

Very close in hardness and actually tougher because there are no distinct cleavage planes that they can shatter at. Used CVD grown PCD for heat spreaders on high power laser diodes.❤

[@beartutor3377]

They are the exact same thing:

[@LostWithoutHer]

I'm willing to bet that if you stepped on a glow-ball in the middle of the night, it would hurt waaaaaaaay more than stepping on a Lego block and it would not only pierce skin but would also imbed, like a splinter. Ouch! But on a more serious note, I've seen and heard from a many industry experts, including multiple shopping channels, that the science behind why and how all colored diamonds form is well established, except for pinks, yet I see lab grown pinks. Is that just to build intrigue and interest? Also, I'd love to see an addendum to this clip mentioning that CVD isn't necessarily the only step; some CVD diamonds additionally undergo HPHT to brighten and whiten. Thanks!

6:30 If they were the same as natural diamonds, the labs wouldn't be able to identify them. Yet they do, quite easily.

[@gems]

It’s not as simple as you think. One of the biggest clues is that lab grown diamonds are type iia diamonds which are almost entirely devoid of impurities. Only 1-2% of mined diamonds are type iia.

"This Chinese clone of a Rolex has the SAME physical properties and appearance as the real thing! Now buy it and stop calling it fake! " That's how you sound. IS IT MINED FROM NATURE? NO?

The same nature that spent thousands or millions of years making it? Then it is real and worth wearing!
