Carbonado Miner's Diamonds

Carbonado miner's diamonds are specifically the toughest natural diamond variant used by miners for drill crowns and saw blades. HTS 7102.21.10.10 covers these unworked or simply processed carbonados, distinguishing them from gem-quality or other industrial diamonds. Their unique structure resists fracturing under extreme conditions.
