Diamantine
A white powder prepared from boron, processed to obtain the utmost purity. It is normally obtainable in three grades and used with a little oil for finishing and polishing steel. The coarsest grade, No. 1, is for grinding and smoothing, while grade No. 2 is commonly used to obtain the final polished finish. Grade No. 3 is exceedingly fine and little used by clockmakers.
