Diamonds

1. Product Overview

​

Afriminerals supplies high-quality industrial grade diamonds sourced through verified and compliant supply channels in Africa, primarily from Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and other approved mining jurisdictions subject to due diligence and certification requirements.

 

Industrial diamonds are non-gem quality diamonds used in cutting, grinding, drilling, polishing, and high-precision industrial applications. Unlike gem-quality stones, their value is derived from hardness, durability, thermal conductivity, and performance efficiency, rather than visual appearance.

 

These materials are essential for mining, construction, oil and gas drilling, manufacturing, and precision engineering industries.


2. Classification & Types

​

Natural Industrial Diamonds

Type                                       Description

Ballas                                     Rounded, fibrous structure used for heavy-duty drilling        
Carbonado (Black Diamond)  Dense polycrystalline form used in high-impact cutting tools   


Synthetic Industrial Diamonds

Type                                        Description                                                          
CVD Diamonds                       Chemical Vapor Deposition diamonds used in precision tools           
HPHT Diamonds                     High Pressure High Temperature diamonds used in industrial machining
