The Diamond Bat Took A Month To Prepare
The bat is worth around Rs 10 lakh and the width of the bat will range from 15mm to 5mm. It took a month to prepare this diamond bat.
Meanwhile, Utpal Mistry, a Diamond Technology expert and the Director of Lexus Softmac Company in Surat, opened up about the super-expensive gift. Utpal Mistry has overseen the process of making the Diamond bat, which has now been sent for the certification process.
In an interview with the Indiatoday.in, Utpal Mistry said:
“A top cricketer of the country was to be gifted a natural diamond bat. It is very difficult without a machine to tell the difference between a lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond when it is prepared. You won’t be able to tell by looking at it with your eyes. Now the diamond trader, who wanted to gift the diamond bat to the big cricketer, said that it should be known only by seeing that it is a natural diamond and not a lab-grown diamond,”
He added: “The bat is worth around INR 10 lakhs and the size is 15mm to 5mm, so we thought That the skin of a natural diamond which is made by God does not exactly match the screen of a lab-grown diamond. So we had the idea and we kept the skin of a rough diamond till polished. This was a very clear instruction because it was going to be a top Indian cricketer. He wanted to gift a natural diamond and not a lab-grown diamond,”
