In this paper an overview of the application of opposed anvil-type high-pressure and high-temperature apparatus for spontaneous growth of diamond crystals by solvent-catalyst technique is presented. The process makes use of a molten Mn47 Ni53 catalyst to initiate the graphite–diamond transformation reaction. The pressure and temperature requirements to obtain reproducible spontaneous diamond crystallization were around 52.5–54
