Abstract
An overview of the application of crystal growth fundamentals in the high-pressure high-temperature production of diamond by solvent/catalyst technique is presented. The recent developments in the commercial production of diamond single crystals by the Gemesis Corporation of Sarasota, Florida, are discussed. The company utilizes the Split-Sphere pressurization apparatus to grow gem quality diamond crystal.
