Diamonds are created from THIN AIR

Daily Mail  

It may seem like a thing of fantasy, but a luxury jewellery startup has created diamonds that are made from thin air. It bills them as carbon-negative diamonds by claiming to extract 20 tonnes of CO2 from the air for every one carat diamond sold. Barely believable: Aether has created diamonds that are made from the air by pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere The company bills them as carbon-negative diamonds by claiming to extract 20 tonnes of CO2 from the air for every one carat diamond sold HOW ARE DIAMONDS MADE OUT OF AIR? Its innovative technology then follows the 'hydrocarbon synthesis', which means that captured CO2 is synthesised into the hydrocarbon feedstock required for growing diamonds in a chemical vapour deposition reactor. The next step is 'diamond growth', where the hydrocarbon raw material is fed into specialised chemical vapour deposition reactors that are powered by 100 per cent clean energy.
