- Title
Nano-Polycrystalline Diamond Sphere: A Gemologist's Perspective.
- Authors
Skalwold, Elise A.
- Abstract
In this article, the author presents his views on studies relating to the development of high-quality synthetic nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD). He reflects that due to hardness and toughness of NPD, it can be designed into many shapes using lasers. He predicts the future possibilities of NPD suggesting that improvements in color and production efficiency would make it a beautiful and sought-after synthetic gem material.
