There's nothing about a diamond that makes it 'industrial size': industrial diamonds -- 75% of all diamonds mined -- are simply not high-quality enough stones to be considered for production as gem stones.
Most diamonds are small -- relatively -- think the size of vegetable peas or smaller. Some others, of course, are larger -- relatively -- think the size of acorns, grapes or in the rare case a plum. (The largest diamond found to date covered the palm of a grown male adult's palm.)
Ultimately industrial diamonds are ground down to be attached to tools, so that the tips or blades are coated with diamonds -- typically 'diamond dust'.
