What do you do with your diamonds? Are they supposed to have nice piezoelectric properties or something?


Well, it's one of the hardest known materials...


I found an excerpt from geology.com about uses for lab-grown diamonds:

"wear-resistant bearings, heat sinks for computer processors, and high-temperature windows."


> heat sinks

Wow, I forgot about that - looks like that you can buy one of the best thermal pastes out there for VERY reasonable prices... and it's 90%+ diamond !!
