Diamantkonisk

Diamantkonisk is a term used primarily in Swedish to describe something related to a diamond with a conical shape or a tool featuring a conical diamond tip. The word combines diamant (diamond) and konisk (conical). In practice, the phrase can refer to two related but distinct usages: a gemstone cut with conical geometry, and a diamond-based abrasive tool or tip that is conical in form.

In gemology, a diamantkonisk cut is uncommon and is usually described in product catalogs or custom orders for decorative or experimental jewelry. Such stones might exhibit a conical pavilion and culet to create a unique light performance, though standard facet patterns and symmetry criteria of popular cuts are not always applicable. The term emphasizes shape rather than a widely standardized cutting style.

In industrial contexts, diamantkonisk commonly denotes a conical diamond-tipped tool used for drilling, grinding, radii forming, or engraving. These tools may employ synthetic diamond coatings or polycrystalline diamond segments and are valued for hardness and wear resistance. The conical geometry makes them suitable for deburring concave surfaces, reaching into corners, or creating tapered features in glass, ceramics, or metal.

Geographic and linguistic notes: while the term appears in Swedish technical literature and catalogs, English-language sources may use generic descriptions such as “conical diamond” or “diamond-tipped cone” for similar objects. Because of context-dependent meaning, diamantkonisk should be interpreted from surrounding text to determine whether it refers to a gemstone shape or a tool geometry.
