Mines in Russia produced approximately 18 million carats of industrial diamonds in 2023, making it the world's largest natural industrial diamond producer that year.
What are industrial diamonds?
Industrial diamonds are diamonds that are valued for their extreme level of hardness, but which have either many flaws or irregular shapes and therefore are not aesthetically valuable. For this reason, they are used for industrial purposes. Overall, industrial diamonds have a low value as gems, but they are important in the mining and metalworking industries. They are used for cutting materials as well as polishing other materials including diamonds. They are also sometimes used for drill bits, saws, and as an abrasive.
