How laboratory diamonds affect the future
Laboratory stones are one of the most exciting innovations in the world today. They began to grow diamonds more than 60 years ago for industrial purposes. General Electric (USA) was the first to synthesize them in large quantities in 1954. The technology imitated the natural process of stone formation, the so-called HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature - "high pressure and high temperature", 1,300 ° C and a pressure of about 50,000 atmospheres). In parallel, the industry began to test another method: CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition). Today, all laboratories that grow stones use one of these two. Larger stones were obtained by those who use the HPHT technology.
