How diamonds are made in the lab, what is Nirmala's announcement for such diamonds in the budget

Diamonds made in the lab… what are they after all? how to become? Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that she will give grants to IITs to promote the production of lab-made diamonds. Let us tell you that after natural diamonds, the market of lab-made diamonds is growing rapidly. That’s why it is necessary that a platform should be prepared to take this industry forward. Manufacturing labs should be made for them.

Technical help should be taken in making these labs. That’s why the Finance Minister has talked about giving grants to IITs. Because which other organization in the country can make better labs than IIT. Diamond traders had appealed to the Finance Minister to reduce or abolish the import duty on equipment used to make lab-made diamonds. If IIT builds an indigenous lab, then the diamond industry will benefit from it. There will be no need to import equipment.

Natural diamonds are priceless. Diamond is a mineral, which is an organic material present under the ground. Diamond is purely organic. That is, if you burn it, then in the end you will not even get ashes. It will turn into carbon. When carbon particles meet in the terrible pressure and temperature inside the ground, then they make diamonds. This is a matter of natural diamond.

How are diamonds made in the lab?

Nowadays diamonds have a second industry too. Which is called the industry of lab-made diamonds. Means Lab Grown Diamonds. These are also called artificial diamonds. Looks like real. Just like we fill china in a sugar box by pressing it, in the same way, when many carbon molecules are added tightly, then a diamond is formed. Lab high temperature and pressure are created to make them.

Diamond can also be made from our tissues

As coal turns into a diamond. or is replaced. In the same way, we can also make diamond from the tissues of humans or animals. Because all the living beings in the world are made of carbon. It is found in large quantities in our body. Diamonds can be made by collecting carbon from the bodies of dead animals and bringing them to the lab under high temperature and pressure.

Diamonds are of many colors

Diamonds are not only white, due to impurities its shade is blue, red, orange, yellow, green and black. Green diamond is the rarest. If diamond is heated in an oven at 763 degree Celsius, it burns to form carbon dioxide. There is absolutely no ash left here. This proves that diamond is pure form of carbon.
