Trust Me I'm A Doctor: Series 5
Michael Mosley and his team of doctors return to tackle more questions about our health, offering uncomplicated, trustworthy advice on important medical issues.
Welcome to BBC Earth Science! Here we answer all your curious questions about science in the world around you. If there’s a question you have that we haven’t yet answered let us know in the comments on any of our videos and it could be answered by one of our Earth Science experts.

[@neatchip123]

@@WintersTheSixth Yes, I know, that. The whole cartel/monopoly on the business. What I'm saying is, something is only as valuable as what people are willing to pay. So saying they are worthless won't make a difference if people will buy them anyway. If you had diamonds in your hand you'd sell them, not throw it in the trash. So if you could make them.... that's money to be made!

You use plasma carbon covered chips and slowly deposit 1 layer of atoms of carbon onto the diamond at a time. Kind of like a 3d printer but with carbon instead. Pressure is not needed

[@marcuscarana9240]

[@klaytinwebb1202]

In my 45yrs of living on this big rock flying through space. I don't understand why a diamond cost as much as it does. There are so many diamonds in Africa that they will only allow so many to hit the market. That way the price stays high as possible. Now gold I can understand 100% why it is expensive as it is. People have pretty much found all of the easy gold to be found. Now they are having to dig such big caters in the ground just to find and extract gold dust. Let me ask you a question. You are on the big island of Hawaii and you have no money and you need to feed your family and get home. Would you amd your wife sell those precious wedding rings and whatever else you have? For me thats easy. Rings are just rings and my wife and kids are more important than some metal and crystals. Take care and peace out

[@godlycumuck167]

Yeah I’d sell useless rocks that I won’t take with me, I guess it’s just cause people need an excuse to find value in something.

That's like asking if natural fresh water and water created in the lab from oxygen and hydrogen are the same. Of course, they are the same. Diamond formed underground or in the lab has the same chemical structure to it just like water obtained one way or another. The only question is which method is cheaper thus supply and demand comes into play that affects the final price.

Heat alone doesn’t produce diamonds. You need extreme pressures too

What is the gas mixture? I'm not a chemist but would the diamond growth accelerate if you add slightly more CO2 gas to the mixture? Or would that decrease the temp?

Has to be acetylene and oxygen there's very few gasses that burn that hot and are practical and cyanogen would give carbon nitride impurities.
