Cremation Diamond Process

Process

Step 1:
Place several ounces of the ashes in a crucible that can withstand massive heat.

Step 2:
Bring the temperature to just over 5,000 degrees fahrenheit, and allow all of
the elements except the carbon to oxidize.

Step 3:
Continue to heat until the carbon has turned to graphite. The entire heating
process will take a few weeks.

Step 4:
Place the graphite in a core with a metal catalyst and a diamond seed crystal.

Step 5:
Place the core in a diamond press.

Step 6:
Bring the temperature to about 2,500 degrees fahrenheit and the pressure to
about 800,000 pounds per square inch. Allow several weeks for the graphite
to turn into a rough crystal.

Step 7:
Remove the crystal and use faceting tools to cut it to your specifications.
