industrial diamonds

Synthetic abrasive gems

Industrial diamonds are diamonds used for cutting, grinding, drilling, and polishing rather than jewelry.

Most are synthetic, produced for hardness rather than clarity or color.

Diamond's extreme hardness makes it ideal for drill bits, saw blades, and abrasives used on materials too tough for steel: industrial diamonds tip the drill bits used in mining operations.
