About SCIO Diamond Technology
SCIO Diamond employs a patent-protected chemical deposition process to produce high-quality, single-crystal diamonds in a controlled laboratory setting, with such diamonds referred to as "lab-grown" or cultivated diamonds. The diamonds have the identical chemical, physical and optical properties as any diamond found in the earth, and the company's highly controlled manufacturing process enables it to produce very high-quality, high-purity, high volume, single-crystal colorless, near colorless and fancy colored diamonds.
SCIO's technology permits it to produce lab-grown diamond in size, color, and quality combinations that are rare, if at all present in nature. For more information: http://www.sciodiamond.com
