Gem quality or that weird black shit they use for diamond tipped drills and such?
Who cares? Diamonds and gems are just shiny. Literally worthless now that they can be manufactured. Gold? A good conductor, nothing else.

Finally. Can I now get a smartphone screen made of diamond please?
And some diamond thermal paste
Wouldn’t that basically just be graphite?
