Description
(Original Caption) The rough diamond is marked with India ink for cleaving. Since the diamond is the hardest substance known to man, and can only be cut by another diamond, the cutting edge of an extremely thin saw is coated with diamond dust and olive oil. Sometimes the sawing requires several weeks, after which the roughly shaped diamond is ready to be faceted.
