Rounded forms of diamond with rough exterior and radiated or confused crystalline structure, but hardness equal to that of diamond g.

Currently the term is applied to low-grade industrial diamonds suitable only for use in a fragmented form.h. A granular to very finely crystalline aggregate consisting of imperfectly crystallized diamonds or of fragments produced in cutting diamonds. It often occurs as spherical forms, with no distinct cleavage, and having a radial fibrous structure i. A diamond of the lowest quality, so flawed, imperfectly crystallized, or off-color that it is suitable only for crushing into abrasive powders for industrial purposes (as for saws and drill bits); an industrial diamond.

Extended Definition: BORT

Bort

Bort or boart is a term used in the diamond industry to refer to shards of gem-grade/quality diamonds. In the manufacturing and heavy industries, "bort" is used to describe dark, imperfectly formed/crystallized diamonds of varying levels of opacity. The lowest grade, "crushing bort", is crushed by steel mortars and used to make industrial-grade abrasive grits. Small bort crystals are used in drill bits. The Democratic Republic of the Congo provides 75% of the world supply of crushing bort.
