Cremation Diamonds Are a Scam
Have you ever seen a commercial offering to transform a loved one's cremains into a diamond as a means to keep their memory alive forever? There are numerous businesses that provide the service. The issue is that everything is a con.
The theory is that since diamonds and cremation remains are both made of carbon, a lab-created diamond can be manufactured from the remains. However, according to specialists, cremation remains include an extremely little amount of material that might be used to create a diamond. There needs to be more added in order to determine the diamond's makeup.
As most people are aware, carbon makes up diamonds. There is no carbon left behind after a body has been burned since cremation furnaces must burn between 1600 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit while carbon burns at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no way to make a diamond from a loved one's remains if there is no carbon remaining.
In their US patents, these "cremation diamond" businesses actually acknowledge that there isn't enough carbon left over from the cremation process to create a diamond. Instead, these businesses produce their "cremation diamonds" using external carbon sources. There is no guarantee that any of your loved ones' remains are anywhere inside the phony diamonds that companies sell for more money than natural diamonds of the same size.
