A Diamond In The Rough


Or is it? This particular diamond is never in the "rough" so to speak. Apollo Diamonds has mastered the art of the cultured diamond. They grow a flawless diamond in approx. 4 days and currently can grow one up to 2 carats. These are not gemstones and they are not mined but cultured. They are getting funding from the U.S. Army for making high powered lasers and from Intel who plans to replace silicone in their processors with diamond. The need for diamond wafers is high and Apollo is working diligently on perfecting that process. Any comments?
