Abstract
This invention is a method of making a synthetic gem comprising elements recovered from remains of a species of the Kingdom Animalia, comprising the steps of collecting substantially pure carbon from the remains and creating gems from the carbon using crystal growth sublimation.
Claims16
A method of making synthetic diamond comprising:
- a. providing cremated human or animal remains;
- b. collecting residual carbon from said cremated human or animal remains by purifying said cremated human or animal remains in the presence of additional carbon from another source;
- and
- c. converting said residual carbon to diamond.
1 more element
A method of making synthetic diamond comprising carbon derived from cremated remains, the method comprising:
- a. providing cremated human or animal remains;
- c. contacting the cremated remains with additional carbon;
- d. purifying the cremated remains while the cremated remains are in contact with said additional carbon, yielding purified carbon derived at least in part from said cremated remains;
- and
- e. converting said purified carbon derived at least in part from said cremated remains to diamond.
