diamonds are no way near as rare as the marketing has been hood winking people into thinking, up until very recently they where stashing containers of the things to artificially keep the price high, they stick them is saw blades smile
The diamonds in saw blades are industrial diamonds and are man made synthetic.

The fact diamonds are in NO WAY rare and their value is a function of excessive marketing and a lot of market manipulation/monopolization is NOT up for dispute tho ;0

Away from the main point you are making it is worth pointing out that diamond dust is a byproduct of cutting diamonds. It's not like Rolls Royce are going to Tiffany's, selecting their best stock and then crushing it, although I'll bet that's how it's marketed.
