Recently 4 people in Surat (India) were diagnosed with some kind of bone cancer (correct me if the type of cancer is wrong), allegedly caused by them using benzene for cleaning the white coating (used for contrast when planning a rough stone) off the diamond.
It kinda angers me, having been fighting for years to make tool manufacturers stop using cobalt in diamond impregnated scaives, and still fighting to make diamond polishers stop using lead wheights.
I don''t know whether benzene was delivered as a ''standard'' product with the sarin, or it was something the users found to clean it.
It takes something away from the sparkle of our work
