A synthetic diamond or cubic boron nitride particle is characterized by containing two or more stable isotopes of an element present in a ratio which is different to the ratio in which the isotopes exist in nature. The diamond or cubic boron nitride particle thus has a fingerprint. A preferred example of the element is nitrogen.

Ultra-hard abrasive particles

Diamond having a nitrogen content not exceeding 100 ppm and electrons or holes trapped at lattice imperfections within the crystal structure has been found to be a good thermoluminescent material. The diamond is produced by taking a diamond having a nitrogen content not exceeding 100 ppm and subjecting it to nuclear radiation.
