DIAMONDS...GEM does show diamonds with in it's Corp Presentation
Whether they're headed in that direction remains to be seen.
Would be wonderful if they did.
Former Post
I see there's a
missing weblink Comparing CVD vs HPHT diamonds.
Here's a great writeup comparing each lab method. CVD - Carbon gas ( layering )
HPHT - Graphite Carbon ( high preasure natural graphite )
What's better: CVD or HPHT diamonds?
You will not be able to tell the difference between a CVD and HPHT diamond with the naked eye. Both methods can create a beautiful, sparkling diamond. Both the CVD method and the HPHT method will create a real diamond that is optically, chemically, and physically identical to earth-grown diamonds.
https://www.ritani.com/blogs/education/cvd-vs-hpht-lab-grown-diamonds-what-s-the-difference I like the aspect of, HPHT can creat colored diamonds. ( not dark, but slight hues )
Years back i bought an expensive ( hearts and arrows ) diamond.
Top of the line - what attracted me ?
besides it's clarity... it was the brilliant tinge of blue with fire and ice sparkle.
The most common HPHT equipment is the 'cubic press' - a huge machine that utilises six hydraulic anvils to put pressure onto the reaction cell where the laboratory-grown diamond grows. CVD diamonds ( gas vapor dismonds (
are not suited ) for industrial applicationd.
Diamond utting saws
Drill Bits
While HPHT
are suited. There you go, graphite diamonds ( jewelry or industrial )
Larger Markets
HPHT diamonds are popular in fine jewelry due to their natural-like characteristics and unique colourations. Industrial Tools: HPHT diamonds find applications in industrial tools and equipment, including drill bits and saw blades, owing to their hardness and durability.May 28, 2024 https://kiradiam.com/blog/cvd-hpht-which-is-better/ Why cover this topic ? I was thinking along the lines of, diamond boron doped chips.
HPHT graphite diamond are inhersntly with, boron.
Add a tad more boron = diamond conducting chips.
US - China carbon + chip trade wars.
Acts as a defence leaving Canada wide open to make their own.
After all... Canada has the graphite.
US wants it.
Why emulate NOU ?
GEM walking it's own path ( chips, semiconductors ) would surpass NOU's
simple carbon concentrate. Making diamond chips doesn't require large tonnage
volume. 1/g to 1/g ration per diamond carot.
GEM simply hires a chip techie.
Ideas....
