The diamond was around 0.04 inches in size and exhibited more sturdiness and resistance compared to typical cubic diamonds.

To misquote a famous song, "Diamonds are industry's best friend." Cubic diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth and is used in everything from precision cutting tools to high-performance ...
