Synthetic Diamonds

Synthetic diamonds are artificially made diamonds. They are produced artificially rather than naturally made diamonds. 
They are made using high pressure high temperature and chemical vapor deposition. They were first created by the Soviet Union to detonate explosives. 
They are usually used in abrasives and polishing tools. 98% of diamonds used industrialy are synthetic. 
Today synthetic diamonds effect the world positively. 
They can be used cheaply for jewelry. They can be used cheaply for industrial uses. 
They have helped science come a long way.

    I watched a special on synthetic diamonds once. It mentioned that some people will try to sell synthetic diamonds to people but tell them that they're REAL diamonds mined from someplace in Africa. The way you can tell the difference? Put them under UV light. Synthetic diamonds will glow for a little while after the UV light is turned off; real diamonds don't.
