Apollo Diamond Inc. was a company based in
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for the production of their gem-sized synthetic diamond crystals, and obtained several U.S. patents on the process. The company's techniques were able to produce colorless gems, in contrast to previous diamond-making techniques which usually produced colored diamonds.[1]
In 2011, many assets of Apollo Diamond were acquired by Scio Diamond Technology Corporation, which said it would use the technology at its South Carolina facility.[2]
