Diamond dust
Have you seen angular cut diamonds recently? If so, I am sure you have been wondering about the same thing that has been going through my mind? I mean, just look at those things and you will see that there must be some diamond dust that remains when these diamonds get cut. But what happens to that dust? Maybe you happen to know? Diamonds cannot be melted, right? Or can they? But is its possible to somehow recycle the diamond leftovers?

Diamond dust is a ground-level cloud composed of tiny ice crystals. This meteorological phenomenon is also referred to simply as ice crystals and is reported in the METAR code as IC. Diamond dust generally forms under otherwise clear or nearly clear skies, so it is sometimes referred to as clear-sky precipitation. It is most commonly observed in Antarctica and the Arctic, but it can occur anywhere with a temperature well below freezing. In Polar regions diamond dust may continue for several days without interruption.
