Apollo Diamond Inc. was a company based in Boston, Massachusetts that was able to produce nearly flawless single crystal diamond wafers and crystals. These crystal diamond wafers and crystal are used in the optoelectronics, nanotechnology and in the consumer gem markets. The company used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for the production of their gem-sized synthetic diamond crystals. They obtained several U.S. patents on the process. By contrast to the previous diamond-making techniques, which usually produced colored diamonds, Apollo Diamond's techniques allowed the production of colorless gems.[1]
