You can read more about the results of the high-pressure, high temperature processes used on diamonds, below.

The exact process, however, is proprietary.

Why are diamonds used in heat sinks?

Diamonds are used in heat sinks because of their excellent thermal conductivity, which allows them to efficiently transfer heat away from a source. Additionally, diamonds have high thermal stability and can withstand extreme temperatures, making them ideal for heat management in electronic devices.


Are chocolate diamonds actually made out of chocolate?

No, chocolate diamonds are not made out of chocolate. They are a marketing term used to describe brown diamonds that have a rich, deep color resembling that of chocolate. These diamonds are natural diamonds that have not been treated or altered to achieve their brown hue.


How is a chocolate diamond created?

Chocolate diamonds are natural diamonds with a brown color caused by the presence of nitrogen impurities. The intense brown color is enhanced through heat treatments, which further intensify the color and improve the diamond's appearance. These treated brown diamonds are marketed as "chocolate diamonds" for their unique color.


How do you heat test the diamond?

Diamonds can be heat tested by subjecting them to high temperatures (above 1400°C) in a controlled environment to observe their reaction. Real diamonds will not be affected by the heat and will remain unchanged, while fake diamonds or simulants may either shatter, discolor, or show some other obvious signs of damage. Professional gemologists use specialized equipment to accurately heat test diamonds.


Is diamonds from carbon using heat and pressure are made of glass?

No, diamonds are not made of glass. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's crust under extreme heat and pressure, while glass is typically made by melting silica sand at high temperatures. Diamonds are composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, while glass is an amorphous solid made up of silica, soda, and lime.

What does heat treated black diamond mean and natural?

Heat treating any diamond may enhance it, but also devalues it. Heat treating natural diamonds is common, and may include black diamonds. You can read more about the process of heat treating diamonds, below.


Are diamonds manipulated in any way?

Some diamonds can be enhanced by heat or other techniques, to make their colour more vibrant, or to hide visible flaws. Any enhanced diamond is quickly obvious to any certified gemologist, and as well, enhanced diamonds are less valuable/ expensive than diamonds that have not been treated.


Which tretment can remove some or all color form certain types of light brown diamonds?

There is apparently a high-pressure, high heat process that can alter a brown diamond's colour. This treatment can 'heal' lattice defects that cause the brown colour. Note, however, that treated diamonds are less valuable that natural diamonds. A GIA certified gemologist will always be able to tell that a diamond has been treated.

Can spring steel be heat treated?

Definately spring steel can be heat treated and it has to be heat treated before it can be functioned as a spring. The common way to heat treat spring steel is by quenching and tempering.


Does diamond explode under immense heat?

No, diamonds are formed under immense heat and pressure.
