Hi,

Can you provide more details on the NV diamond used (make, model, actual price, link for purchase)? I'm looking on the websites provided but the nv diamonds listed are considerably more expensive.

Thanks

I believe that I read somewhere that the creators are looking to bulk purchase the diamonds and resell them to individuals. This would allow them to negotiate a price and hopefully bring the cost down. I am hoping I am not imagining this as I too are struggling to find an appropriate diamond.

The product listing does not make it clear that this is an NV centre diamond suitable for use in this project. It is described as a heat spreader with low nitrogen NV center density, which sounds like the exact opposite of what the project requires.

Can someone clarify the correct size, shape, and specifications required?

Here is a different product that is nitrogen-doped. Would that not be a better choice?

There are many options available, both on ALi and at Element Six and Adamas Nano but those websites provide zero insight into the best choice for a project like this.
