The mineral Pyrophyllite has played an integral part in the process of manufacturing synthetic diamonds ever since their discovery in 1954. Wonderstone, in particular, has been the product of choice because of the properties of thermal and electrical insulation, thermal shock resistance and high compressive strength under the extreme operating conditions (1 400 ºC, 60 kbar).
Wonderstone is easily machined with standard machine tools and has the appropriate frictional and extrusion characteristics to form a gasket either between the die cavity and the two ramming punches in a belt die set or between the anvils in multi-anvil systems such as cubic presses.
