Hello someone from industry shown me diamond surface etching rough diamond...specially done on thin paper coated low value diamonds...I really don't understand this treatment.Does anyone have knowledge regarding this?
If I got you right, you say that people are polishing the surface of rough diamonds. How is that confusing to you?
Mineral collectors usually do not want crystals facets to be denatured by polishing (which is making facets more shiny and transparent, but also erases natural features which are interesting evidences of the mineral growth history), although polishing of the facets can be tolerated when it is necessary to reveal interesting inclusions which wouldn't be visible otherwise. But unless one wants to buy rough diamond crystals for a mineralogical collection, there's no reason not to want them to be surface polished as this indeed better reveals their internal qualities.
Well my question is how people can achieve this result? its something looks like diamond pearl beeds. and main question is why ? what is the benefit to do this process? I want to mention here that, it is done on natural industrial diamonds, not to any man made diamonds.
hello conny thanks for ur inputs. but i dint get meaning of tumbling diamonds? is it something like deep cleaning in acids?please give me more details or links to understand it. thanks

Tha majority of these stones are used in tools. Drill heads, dressers etc. It is from a functional point of view this is done. It has nothing to do with jewelry or gems.
when it comes to rough diamonds sold for cutting as gems, I guess some people are possibly polishing the crystal facets for better revealing their clarity potential, am I right?
