LAS VEGAS, NV — (Marketwire) — 07/10/12 — Centaurus Diamond Technologies, Inc. formerly Sweetwater Resources (the “Company” or “Centaurus Diamond Technologies Inc.”, or “Centaurus”) (OTCBB: CTDT) (OTCQB: CTDT)
Diamonds are made of carbon, the purer the carbon the better for the manufacture of cultured product. Natural diamonds are a crystal, which grows deep underground, usually in close proximity to volcanoes. How Diamonds are formed is similar to growing any other crystal, but Diamonds require tremendous temperatures and pressures to grow in Nature. Most Diamonds come up from very deep within the earth, carried by the lava flows from volcanoes.
Diamonds can also be made in factories by squeezing Carbon in massive presses at high temperature and pressure (HPHT). Manufactured Diamonds have great utility in industrial tools and as abrasives.
There are several ways to make artificial Diamond product. The two main methods are (BARS method).
The HPHT method is the one used by almost all synthetic diamond producers today (both for gem use and industrial use). This process artificially recreates how diamonds are created within the body of our planet. A diamond –seed– serves as the growth template, and then a carbon source, with a catalyst, is added to enhance growth.
Once a crystal is established, the original –seed– Diamond is removed, and what remains is an artificial Diamond.
CVD, employs (also known as CVD), and is used for coating things with diamond. There remain substantial challenges to realizing commercial growth levels against achieving larger single Diamonds using this method. A diamond seed is again employed. The carbon growth medium is supplied in gaseous molecular form. The carbon floods onto the diamond seed and growth ensues.
Synthetic Diamonds draw impurities from their surroundings, universally and rapaciously . This gives them varying color and attractiveness. To grow pure whites is a daunting task – to be discussed in our associated blog.
Centaurus Diamond Technologies Inc. was established to fully commercialize its proprietary, cost-efficient and high-volume diamond production method to provide industrial quality diamonds. The Company–s patented technology enables the production of “cultured” diamonds that are chemically, atomically, and structurally identical to natural diamonds. The gemological Institute of America has tested the Company–s “cultured” diamonds and has confirmed they are diamonds according to their testing protocols.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Mr. Alvin Snaper, President
