Favored for millennia as cut stones due to their unsurpassed vibrance, gem-grade diamonds form the centerpiece to many jewelry pieces. However, because diamonds are the hardest natural occurring mineral on our planet and their naturally high thermal conductivity, those that don't make the grade as cut stones end up in a myriad of industrial uses. Bruker's advance analytical solutions support all aspects of the diamond industry from exploration, to extraction, and to grading.
对新钻石沉积物的探索是基于对导致其形成过程的过程的基本理解的建立,并且从发现更丰富的相关矿物质(例如Pyrope Garnet,Chromium Diopside和Chromite)。这些指标矿物质在溪流沉积物,冰川耕种或橄榄岩和叶绿石异种石中检测到,在检测含钻石的金伯利岩和兰普林管方面已被证明是富有成果的。
Bruker provides analytical solutions for rapid characterization of granulated materials (tills, sediments, crushed rocks) and drill core for positive identification of diamond indicator minerals. Solutions include:
在所有开采的钻石中,只有20%的钻石将其视为宝石质量。根据“四个CS”进行评估 - 颜色,清晰度,克拉和剪切 - 迪蒙德斯需要为目的进行分级,并最终将其作为宝石的价值。钻石也不再局限于自然世界的境界,现在制作合成钻石或非碳模仿相对容易。因此,重要的是要正确描述和分类在公开市场上出售的任何钻石,以确保客户具有可追溯性,而钻石是真正的文章。
Bruker provides a full range of solutions that suit every application and analytical need in the diamond analytical workflow. Diamond quality and grading tools include:
