    Hey, I have this 105 carat thing lying around. If I grind it down and sell it I'll make, what, 126 dollars! I'm rich!

    Good luck griding down a diamond. Besides 99% of diamond powders sold are synthetic. Diamond powders are used in many facets (pun intended) of the computer world.

    I am in the business and without diamond powders a great majority of the machines and processes in use today wouldn't be possible. Even the space shuttle couldn't fly without diamond powder.

    Mmm, crunchy...
    Very impressive.
