These gems are hard and can perform the task of thermal conductors. Thus, these lab created diamonds can be used in radiation detection devices, lasers, semiconductors and computers.

Synthetics are one, Canadian and Russian mined stones are another. The refinery I use (Hoover & Strong) resells diamonds from the jewelry they take in. You can also get diamonds at a pawn shop.<br /><br />The seed crystals can be bits of natural diamonds or synthetic. Their purpose is to show the new material how to crystalize.MmeMagpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13367185905547973484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758880666130567548.post-56473650834780532232011-05-22T23:58:59.243-05:002011-05-22T23:58:59.243-05:00I guess I never thought about adding the different...I guess I never thought about adding the different elements in for colors in man-made diamonds...but that's the cool thing my science teacher showed us with the butane torch, how the different elements would burn in colors. Also that diamond scalpel blade is way cool. I definitely didn't know that!

Where does the diamond seed come from? Is that a mined stone? does having a synthetic stone guarantee that there is no connection to conflict stones then? I would really like to make sure that when I start setting stones in my pieces that I don't support conflict stones :)Meghannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733200185181822610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758880666130567548.post-58875004330621489132011-05-22T05:06:19.824-05:002011-05-22T05:06:19.824-05:00Thank you so much for sharing!
