... a Swiss company... will compress and super-heat... cremated ashes and turn them into a man-made diamond that can be worn and cherished. It all begins with chemical process that extracts the carbon from the departed's ashes. This carbon is then heated to convert it into graphite. That graphite is then heated to as many as 2, 700 degrees Fahrenheit and subjected to forces as high as 870, 000 pounds per square inch. The color of the finished diamond, which can range from white to dark blue, depends on the boron content of the ashes of the deceased.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - diamondization

Transformer les cendres en diamant - Depuis quelques années quelques sociétés britanniques, allemandes ou américaines proposent de transformer les cendres funéraires en diamant synthétique. Cette «diamantisation», interdite en France par la loi qui protège l’usage des cendres, avec un coût de quelques milliers d’euros, permettrait de porter les cendres du défunt en bague ou en pendentif.  1, fiche 1, Français, - diamantisation

Synthetic diamond. A man-made diamond, produced either by subjecting carbon-bearing material such as graphite to high temperature and pressure or by the chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method. The Swedish company Allmana Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget(ASEA) is believed to have achieved the first repeatable synthesis of diamond in 1953, but their results were not published at the time; General Electric Company(GE) announced a successful synthesis of diamonds in 1954, followed by De Beers in 1959. Colors range from black to dark green, light green, red, yellow, blue, and colorless(Type IIa diamonds). Millions of carats of industrial-quality synthetic diamond are now manufactured annually using high pressure techniques; gem quality synthetic diamonds have been produced experimentally by De Beers Diamond Research Laboratories, General Electric Company...  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - synthetic%20diamond

Les diamants synthétiques sont fabriqués à partir de graphite et d'isotopes de carbone. La méthode de fabrication de ces synthèses repose sur les conditions de cristallisation naturelles du diamant, c'est-à-dire des températures entre 1700 °C et 2760 °C avec 10 T/cm², et ce pendant plusieurs mois.  3, fiche 2, Français, - diamant%20de%20synth%C3%A8se
