This diamonds stuff will never be large enough for gemstones - it only occurs naturally as a result of meteor impact and in micro sizes.
Regular diamond bonds closer than other materials, in a kind of puckered shared electron covalent 4 bond system - this stuff is similar but not 'puckered' so the bonds are even shorter and stronger.
