I recently just purchased a blue princess cut diamond 1 carat SI2 from JTV and I love it! Diamonds are so fascinating ! I’m happy that they can come in all colors
What a fabulous and timely episode. I've always wanted to learn more about how they grow diamonds. Preston and Rebecca did a great job of letting us know. Would love to purchase a glow ball.
That was a fabulous episode! I had no idea there was so much waste and possible inclusions that are generated in lab grown diamonds! It's a much different process than I imagined! I know with mined diamonds it takes so much heat and pressure and time, to make a diamond in the earth, and the possibility of inclusion can be much higher when they are forming in the earth, but I had no idea that you could get inclusions like that, where they can be loupe visible in a lab grown diamond! What a fascinating process! And those glow balls are just the coolest! I really do hope that they or someone can find a use for all the waste from this process. I mean if I was understanding correctly, then it has the hardness of diamond, just not the optical quality of diamond so there has to be a use for it somewhere! Right!?! That would be a cool episode, where everybody send in your thoughts and ideas for uses and test them out! Who knows, someone may actually have the perfect use for this stuff! Thank you Preston for the education and enlightenment! And you too Rebecca! Great show! ❤
Real talk ? What r u paying for school??? Atm because I'm a newbie gemstone and specimen collector with very limited resources? But I am in love with the fields so please let me know realistically what it's looking like with you considering I'm considering pursuing the same path???? Thanks .
@@Elizabeth912-v6o I am finishing up my college degree, and then I am moving to Thailand to go to the school as it is the cheapest tuition (about $16,888) and that is for the graduate gemologist degree.
I wonder about all of the tests they have done with the waste and failed material. Like. Is it just straight up carbon. What happens if you reheat it. Or if you use a similar pressure as wit the hpht?
I would love to get some of those glow ball structures. I think those would look amazing set in resin as a necklace or if they're small enough, a pair of earrings.
I'm willing to bet that if you stepped on a glow-ball in the middle of the night, it would hurt waaaaaaaay more than stepping on a Lego block and it would not only pierce skin but would also imbed, like a splinter. Ouch! But on a more serious note, I've seen and heard from a many industry experts, including multiple shopping channels, that the science behind why and how all colored diamonds form is well established, except for pinks, yet I see lab grown pinks. Is that just to build intrigue and interest? Also, I'd love to see an addendum to this clip mentioning that CVD isn't necessarily the only step; some CVD diamonds additionally undergo HPHT to brighten and whiten. Thanks!
So they want to know what to do with the black sand from the fails. The first thing is to publish what is, I mean is it very dense graphite or has it transformed at all there is a lot one could do with ultra dense graphite alone.
Okay so poly crystal diamond just mill it down and sell as an abrasive. As far as the glow balls collectors may or maybe powder them and use as thermal interface material if the properties are good.
The worldest largest white with pink opalized fossilized tree trunk has been high jacked..im sooooo upset as i wanted u guys to see it and wanted it to go to a museum for all to see and enjoy..the skin on the tree was still deep ridged as was christen shape and was white with pink band..if u hear anything about this tree peace as it was 6ft by 6ft by 6ft get it and put it in museum and let me know who had it and ill take care of them in court
Very close in hardness and actually tougher because there are no distinct cleavage planes that they can shatter at. Used CVD grown PCD for heat spreaders on high power laser diodes.❤
I have a lot of ideas for the excess material!!!!!! I'm an artist talk to the art world❤!!!!!! I promise you we can find beautiful and constructive uses for the excess material!!!!!!
How about finding Raw diamonds, And minerals? Geology & Gymology, How I conduct my day when I'm searching for minerals and precious stones. I'm no longer on ST. Pete Beach 🏖 any more, I don't work at wood's waterfront. Where's my Uncle at Tim Mathew at . I was hit by a drunken driver, On 5/12/23 on ST. PETE BEACH I'm considered Critically injured due you too, my MRI, I'm in ST. Petersburg, FL
Find them raw made it better more gym stones. You put a whole bunch of mountain Bush. I got a lot of metal tracker. Don't know what they are. A lot of people think they're wrong. I found a clear diamond today. Anna oh, peacefold piece of concrete.
It’s not as simple as you think. One of the biggest clues is that lab grown diamonds are type iia diamonds which are almost entirely devoid of impurities. Only 1-2% of mined diamonds are type iia.
I dont know about fake diamonds but were I live in Australia we find real ones in the creek while fossicking ha ha Not often but every now an then we find one in the gem civ ha ha
"This Chinese clone of a Rolex has the SAME physical properties and appearance as the real thing! Now buy it and stop calling it fake! " That's how you sound. IS IT MINED FROM NATURE? NO? Then it's a fake piece of glass that is worthless and speaks about who you are as a person. IS it perhaps FLAWED , but found in nature ? The same nature that spent thousands or millions of years making it? Then it is real and worth wearing!
Yes you are correct structurally. Yet your missing the whole Mother Earth and her place in the formation. IMO it in the eye of the beholder, and for me, that happens to be natural, preferably in the matrix
i love watching your videos and share your passion for gemstones but your online marketing team need a kick up the arse, their aggressive marketing is beyond rude and getting into spam territory. i was getitng upwards of 3 to 4 marketing emails a day and then unsubscribed and they still sent emails through. Really piss poor way to run a business guys. I had to block your email address which is sad because now i cant and wont buy from you.
Polarized light, the crystal will show lots of optical activity, flaws CVD diamonds will have unusual stirae in them. Elemental xrf analysis of trace elements, niobium tungsten platinum and tantalum are present in lab diamonds.❤

The diamond waste would make great aquarium gravel!
Actually interesting thought! It's still graphite carbon so it still retains properties of carbon for "bioactive" use? What about soil enrichment?
@@karenlee3198 I doubt diamond would be bio available due to its density and chemical resistance.
SERIOUSLY LOVE Preston's new cut!!!! REALLY suits him. 😊
Totally agree, looks so good!!
What a fabulous and timely episode. I've always wanted to learn more about how they grow diamonds. Preston and Rebecca did a great job of letting us know. Would love to purchase a glow ball.
Rebecca is sooo adorable
Love diamonds as setting for big colored stones!

Market the 'glow balls'! This was soooooo cool. Thanks. And congrats to Preston for losing the ponytail look... short looks great.
Yea, my first thought was: I want one of those! ;-)
I was thinking the same thing. Set them in resin and use them in jewelry. They would look amazing!
Especially if they polish the black off they could sell it as a snowflake
The bad diamond bits would make a great blasting media for sand blasting.
As a future gemologist I am glad there are videos like this.

Excellent content.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Awesome!! and thank you for sharing the GOOD STUFF💯👍💯💎💯
Preston looks great with that haircut!
I'd love to get my hands on the seed plates and the HPHT slices
Muy buen video,me gustaría que hagan un vídeo de diamantes natural en bruto,son muy hermosos en Estados natural,, abrazó desde argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

May i know whats the rectangular shape diamond called? Is it called emerald cut?
I think when people say they are fake, is because they are manufactured. Part of the whimsy of a gem is its nature.
Unfortunately you are incorrect. A gem is determined by it’s chemical properties not by its origin… ❤
I would love to get some of those glow ball structures. I think those would look amazing set in resin as a necklace or if they're small enough, a pair of earrings.
Please note Rebecca is keeping it classy and flashing her natural diamonds or at least some of them on this episode!!!!!
lol no one cares 😂😂, lab diamonds are on the rise bud
You don’t know that. They are indistinguishable
Yea baby
So where does the diamond seed come from? Did I miss something?
8:19 😊

The diamond coral would be amazing in miniature 1:12 or 1:24 scale models.

You're welcome!
How big can they make synthetic diamonds? Can they make a Cullinan diamond?
I want to buy some of the poly-diamonds and glow balls.
The diamond seed is a natural green diamond?
So they want to know what to do with the black sand from the fails. The first thing is to publish what is, I mean is it very dense graphite or has it transformed at all there is a lot one could do with ultra dense graphite alone.
Okay so poly crystal diamond just mill it down and sell as an abrasive. As far as the glow balls collectors may or maybe powder them and use as thermal interface material if the properties are good.
they're better than mined diamonds because there is no blood shed in the process
Where does the diamond seed come from? Is the diamond seed natural?
It is
Sandblasting machines, might work well with these diamond scraps. Earth boring drill machines, would be another use.

where to buy orginal coral and price for 100 grams madam,i am from india
👏👏
Are these poly diamonds also diamond-like in their hardness and stability?
Same
Very close in hardness and actually tougher because there are no distinct cleavage planes that they can shatter at. Used CVD grown PCD for heat spreaders on high power laser diodes.❤
They are the exact same thing:

Wholesale prices for lab grown diamonds are collapsing 💀 You can get large 5 CT+ diamonds for 99% off rap!
Its a gemologist (them, a scientist) versus a nobody liar (some jeweler, aka you). I wonder who winnns

All my gym stones I have are in the raw form. I have a thirty to forty pound alexandra raw form
The difference between the two is blood was spilt when it comes to real diamonds
The only non-natural gemstones I can enjoy is lab diamonds

you can have your loved ones carbon remains swished into a diamond. Each to thier own I guess.
So cool I want to be one!
@@breakeverychain7 you can shine for eternity. 👍👍
6:30 If they were the same as natural diamonds, the labs wouldn't be able to identify them. Yet they do, quite easily.

Lab grown diamonds are real, for the 200th f*cking time. Watch the video until you understand, assuming you are able to
👀
11:23 pretty sure this is false, diamonds arent even stable and decompose after like 20 million years
"This Chinese clone of a Rolex has the SAME physical properties and appearance as the real thing!
Now buy it and stop calling it fake! "
That's how you sound.
IS IT MINED FROM NATURE?
NO?
Then it's a fake piece of glass that is worthless and speaks about who you are as a person.
IS it perhaps FLAWED , but found in nature ?
The same nature that spent thousands or millions of years making it?
Then it is real and worth wearing!
It’s definitely not glass
You are very deluded
I just don't get it. I mean, diamonds for industrial purpose sure, but for selfish reasons like jewelry? Naw man, I just don't get it.
Yes you are correct structurally. Yet your missing the whole Mother Earth and her place in the formation. IMO it in the eye of the beholder, and for me, that happens to be natural, preferably in the matrix
lol yet it’s not as fascinating or as rare as they make it seem there’s billions of diamond and they are over priced😂 and people are finding out.
Diamonds are an extremely common stone with a monopoly

Too much use of the word 'cool'.
Unsubbed! you can call it lab grown but it's artificial in simple words.
Yeah artificial, synthetic, and lab grown means the same, yet still it is chemically called C(solid, diamond).
