Diamond is the hardest substance known to us. Apart from employing this precious stone for making jewelry, it is also used for cutting and sharpening purposes in several industrial processes. Diamond when mined comes as a raw material, which is further processed to either make jewelry or use in different industries. Jewelry made of diamond is needed to be polished with a compound known as diamond paste. This glue like substance is made by grinding this gemstone into fine pieces and then mixing it with water or any other binding agent. To bind this substance is required so that it can be filled into a syringe to use for precise designing requirement. This fixing agent is ideal to use on ceramic, glasses, mineral surface etc. It can also be used as a cleaning agent for surfaces of different materials.
Another form of diamond is employed as diamond powder that is used in dressing tools for giving a sharp edge to different metallic elements. This Powderly form of diamond is obtained by crushing this gemstone into fine pieces and then using it on the edges of cutting tools. Tiny pieces obtained are known as microns and the whole process is termed as micronization. In this process, special fluids are used to break down diamond molecules into fine pieces. As a result, of this process, tiny equal sized pieces are formed. Further, the uniformity of any of the substance on a diamond tools is important so that the cut that is being given to any piece of a material should be a sharp one
