Dr. Mitchell Halter's Ashes to Diamond

On October 31st at 4:10am I lost the absolutely most amazing father anyone could wish for. My father Dr. Mitchell Halter was truly the most important person in my life & I was beyond blessed to have him by my side caring for me, teaching & mentoring me & most of all unconditionally loving me for just shy of 29 years. If you knew my father then you can completely understand how genuinely special he was & why I’d want to keep him around forever, which is why I’d like to turn his ashes to diamond so I’m able to have him as close to me as possible. Although I’ll never be able to physically have him by my side again to care for me, love me & guide me when I need it, at least I can have a piece of him by my side forever. Knowing in someway that I’d be able to have him close by forever gives me a small sense of comfort. I genuinely appreciate any help towards having even just a piece of my father by my side once again. Thank you.

Ashes are turned into diamonds through a process that involves: a

1. Extracting carbon: The carbon is extracted from the ashes and purified o

2. Creating a foundation: The carbon is added to a foundation

3. Growing the diamond: The carbon is placed in a growth cell with a diamond seed and additional purified carbon a

4. Using a HPHT machine: The growth cell is placed in a high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) machine a

5. Growing the diamond: The carbon is transformed into a diamond under the extreme conditions of the HPHT

machine o

The HPHT machine recreates the natural conditions found deep within Earth's mantle. The process replicates the Earth's natural diamond engine, but at a much faster speed.

The result is a diamond that's just as spectacular as a mined diamond, with the same appearance and durability. However, the diamond is more meaningful and personal because it's made from a loved one's ashes.
