Very few videos go over the production of synthetic diamonds, this dated video was worth a watch. thank you for the upload.

thanks for uploading these videos, saw some of them at school in the early 1990's. GREAT British TV, if only an educational resource, but a Good one none the less, and great for visual learners too as there is good demonstration of concepts and illustrations to back them up!!
