Diamond mining refers to a technique used to produce sought-after THCA crystalline concentrates.
It isolates the cannabinoid THCA in pure crystal form through a complex process of solvent extraction and crystallization.
The result is incredibly potent crystalline “diamonds” prized for their purity and potency.
What is Diamond Mining?
Diamond mining uses hydrocarbons like butane, propane, or hexane to strip cannabinoids like THCA from cannabis plant material.
Additional filtration and vacuum drying remove residual solvents and impurities.
This THCA extract then goes through an intricate crystallization process, optimizing conditions like temperature, pressure, and agitation to facilitate the formation of large THCA crystals.
The isolated crystals, referred to as “diamonds”, are broken off and dried to create a final crystalline concentrate testing up to 99% pure THCA.
This lengthy process produces an exceptionally concentrated, terpene-rich product with immediate and powerful effects when dabbed.
Diamond mining derives its name from the glistening, gem-like formations of the purified THCA crystals.
