A diamond anvil (10) of the type comprising (a) a pair (11, 12) of diamonds having facing, plane parallel bearing surfaces (18, 20) and (b) a device (15) for applying a force to the diamonds tending to press the bearing surfaces together. Both diamonds have a peripheral surface (21), extending outward from the bearing surface, which is tangent to the bearing surface at the interface thereto and which tapers away from the bearing surface with a continuous curved surface. |
