Abstract: An artificial diamond single crystal, a process for producing it, and tools for utilizing it are disclosed. The artificial diamond crystal has at least one surface which has a rough surface formed by suppressed crystal growth at that surface. The single crystal is produced by providing a diamond synthesis reaction system comprised of a reaction chamber, a carbon source and a solvent metal arranged in contact with the carbon source. A seed crystal is provided in the reaction chamber under elevated pressures and temperatures which permit diamond to be maintained thermodynamically stable. The reaction system is heated to provide a temperature gradient in such a way that a portion of the solvent metal in contact with the carbon source is higher in temperature than a portion of the solvent metal in contact with the seed crystal. This temperature gradient causes a migration of the carbon from the higher temperature portion to the lower temperature portion using the solvent metal as a medium.
