[@thewebmachine]

Diamonds aren't nearly as rare as everyone has been led to believe, certainly not in the modern age of mass mining and lab-created. A literal diamond cartel controls the supply market that sets prices for diamond jewelry, hence the exorbitant prices. If diamonds were as rare or as expensive as the jewlery store wants you to think they are, a diamond coated drill bit would cost north of $1,000 each, not $10. Your $20k wedding ring is made of a couple hundred dollars of materials, which is why anyone who tries to sell/pawn their precious ring finds themselves seriously disappointed by the offers they receive. They lose 90% of their value the instant you purchase them.

[@jasonchiu272]

I do agree with your reply, but a diamond-coated drill bit uses very dirty, stained small daimonds, which will drastically lower the diamond's price, probably to even cents.

[@bobthecomputerguy]

And they're trying to market the idea that synthetic diamonds are fake. They're as much diamonds as the ice cubes in your freezer are ice. No one questions that since ice cubes didn't come from a naturally frozen lake they aren't real. To them, it's the blood in blood diamonds that give them value I guess.

[@pufthemajicdragon]

For those wondering, the "molten metal alloy" used as the flux in HTHP hydrothermal synthesis is usually platinum and other platinum group metals. Platinum is one of the most common fluxes used in hydrothermal synthesis. Silicon is also used, particularly for diamond synthesis.

[@pufthemajicdragon]

I've been researching gemstone synthesis for a while, hoping to figure out some "DIY"-safe methods for synthesis in my garage. My research has focused on ruby synthesis, since my goal is to create 1L soda bottle -sized gems for an accent lighting idea I'm kind of obsessed with. But I've also looked into emerald and diamond because they're adjacent and there's a lot more information published about them, and I've looked into other minerals such as lazulite. The hardest parts for any HTHP or hydrothermal synthesis are identifying the best flux and getting a pressure vessel that can withstand the pressures involved. For corundum and emerald synthesis you need about 200 Mpa or roughly 30,000 PSI of pressure. Steel pressure vessels are used for commercial synthesis. For diamond you need, as the video said, 5.5 Gpa, or in the neighborhood of 80,000 PSI. The only way to get that kind of pressure is in what's called an "anvil" - basically 6 pyramids packed together to form a cube, each pyramid missing its top so there's a void in the center of the cube where your graphite goes and your diamond comes out. I've looked into alternatives. Flame Fusion is useful for ruby, it's fast and effective, but stone quality is low and size is small and the apparatus is not easy to buy or DIY. There is no flame fusion alternative for diamond, but chemical vapor deposition is becoming more and more common and could be adapted to a DIY process, albeit only for people with a lot of money.

It's cheaper to make diamonds from anthracite or graphite than to separate the carbon from human corpses. Also you wont exactly make bank from it. Lab grown diamonds sell for 20-40% less than natural diamonds of the same weight and cut, despite being purer and better looking than natural diamonds. That's quite a bit of money still, but the cost of operating the machinery, maintenance, utilities, plus the debt from the initial purchase makes it hard work to make a living. Because diamonds have industrial uses you can succeed at making a living if you market well, but that relies on market demand just like any other product.

I'm skeptical that ashes, which are the famous remains after burning all the carbon, contain any carbon at all. Especially when buddy says the "extracted carbon" is mixed with graphite. The process is the same if you leave out the alleged human carbon.

[@justindie7543]

Good point but it looks like there is some carbon. In the video it was only a few grams they were able to get out of the ashes, presumably from incomplete reactions or byproducts with carbon in them. It also strikes me as strange that they mixed graphite in. Edit, just looked it up and Calcium Carbonate is one of the primary components of organic ashes.

Aren’t ashes just the bones of the person, ground down into a powder, since all the flesh got burned away?

The video neglects to mention one of the most interesting properties of synthetic HPHT and CVD diamonds - they often glow in the dark. Boron in HPHT diamonds can induce phosphorescence, typically appearing as blue or white afterglow. This is especially common in colorless to near-colorless HPHT synthetics. Also, nitrogen-Boron donor-acceptor pairs: The interaction between substitutional nitrogen and boron atoms (NB pairs) in the diamond lattice can result in a broad blue-green phosphorescence band. Additionally nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in pink to red HPHT synthetic diamonds also cause it with NV defect centers created during post-growth treatment resulting in orange or red phosphorescence. Anomalous luminescence occurs in natural diamond sometimes as well, but is significantly rarer.

Ultrapure carbon is actually made from sugar - it's called "sugar charcoal". The reason sugar is used is because simple sugars are pure hydrocarbons and also can be recrystallized to remove any organic impurities. The plants already had to work very hard to catenate all the carbon atoms into such energetic molecules (the energy density if suscrose is comparable to gasoline and people actually use it as a solid rocket fuel (!)). To make carbon, just pour a little concentrated sulfuric acid over a white sugar cube and observe... the acid will dehydrate the hydrocarbon (rip off all the hydroxyl group and form water) leaving behind the carbon backbode. The sugar cube will grow into a black steaming mass consisting basically of carbon, water, sulfurous acid and some remaining sulfuric. All this can be washed out and after drying you will have pretty much pure carbon. It's not economical to be used for BBQ (it's too good - just use wood charcoal) but it's great as a lab reagent (e.g. for carbothermic reductions).
