diamond dust is exactly what it sounds like. powdered diamond. Though I have heard that Warhol actually used powdered glass after finding diamond powder to be unsuitable.

diamond dust, by jB on Apr 19, 2008 3:43:11 GMT 1, i think mose is right...its actually just powered glass to give a sparkle effect on the prints...however may be mistaken, but i dont believe its made of actual diamonds

Yes Warhol used it, and Paul Stolper uses it in quite a few of the editions he published, most notably recently Hirst used it on the terrible skull silkscreens he made. Interestingly the Diamond Dust used by Warhol was far finer a grain than the type used today. Frankly it is far more effective in the finer grain.

I was told the same thing when I asked about a Peter Blake print ie its the left over part of cutting diamonds and not glass. Still worthless either way ;D
