Sadly, I lost interest in the matter. Time to unsubscribe from this thread.

. . . and it seems Mr DiamondLube's claim of a diamond ball is founded. His microwave process is not the only way to create "spherical clusters" of diamonds. It looks like several other processes are capable of achieving the same results on a nano scale. An Israeli company uses laser techniques to strike a target mixture of carbon and hydrocarbons. They are willing to sell gram sized samples at reasonable prices.
More poking will probably turn up more competitors to DiamondLube.
