What is the type of diamond used in creating the Asha diamond simulant?

Our Asha® diamond simulants are created using an infusion of exceptionally pure "Amorphous Diamond"This amorphous diamond is created using a patent pending nanotechnology process, is man-made and "composed of a multitude of tiny diamond crystals all aligned together*".  

Its amorphous crystal structure allows it to better bond with materials it is combined with.

Our formulation is unique in that it is exceptionally pure, and contains an extremely high percentage of diamond bonds, and thus shows a diamond signature (spike) when analyzed via independent 
Raman testing (click here for independent testing results).
