Section 1: The Science of Memorial Diamonds
1.1 From Ashes to Diamonds
- Carbon Extraction: Human or pet ashes contain 2–4% carbon. Using hydrochloric acid and high-temperature calcination (2,500°C), we isolate 99.99% pure carbon.
- Diamond Synthesis:
- HPHT (High-Pressure High-Temperature): Replicates Earth’s mantle (60 kilobars, 1,500°C) to create colored diamonds (blue, yellow) in 8–16 weeks.
- CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): Ionizes methane gas to grow colorless or pink diamonds layer-by-layer in 6–12 weeks.
- Certification: Every diamond is graded by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) for clarity (VS1–VVS2) and color (D–H).
