Hearts on Fire Diamonds

I have been following , with great interest, the diverse subject
matter discussed daily via the ORCHID electronic forum. As an
introduction I am the founding partner of a group of companies
in South Africa specializing in high technology applied in the
manufacturing of Gold/Platinum/Diamond studded jewellery. What
may be of interest to the ORCHID forum & with reference to the
above subject one of my companies. Laser Optronic Technologies,
has developed a compact solid state laser system which is able
to saw, shape, & block gem diamonds. The machine is called the
ULTIMATE MICRO. The MICRO is installed in many factories in India
& in Japan & processes hundreds of thousands of carats each
month. The Micro is able to saw 10 cts/hr with an average wt.
Loss of less than 1%, & with a surface roughness of better than
.2 microns Ra. What is of interest is that in the near future all
gem diamonds will be sawn,shapped & blocked by laser. Looking
forward to your comments & or questions.
