WTB real diamond dust, by Michael Jacob on Feb 15, 2010 17:42:38 GMT 1, Ive got a series of prints coming out. I want to use diamond dust, like Warhol did. Where do you find it. I see a lot of fake stuff, but I want the real deal. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

If you're not pm me and i'll check it out.

WTB real diamond dust, by schlomo on Feb 15, 2010 20:16:51 GMT 1, actually real diamond dust is available as its an abrasive used in diamond polishing. Although i say real, its synthetic diamond dust, but still diamond rather than glass.
