Claim:
1. A cell assembly for use in a high-pressure cubic press, comprising: a first can assembly that holds a first diamond volume, the first can assembly including a first end surface in proximity to the first diamond volume, the first can assembly including refractory metal that is in direct contact with the first diamond volume; a second can assembly that holds a second diamond volume, the second can assembly including second end surface in proximity to the second diamond volume, the second can assembly including refractory metal that is in direct contact with the second diamond volume; at least one heating element positioned between the first can assembly and the second can assembly, the at least one heating element including a length and a thickness, wherein the length is greater than the thickness, the at least one heating element including a major surface generally opposing and positioned adjacent to the first end surface of the first can assembly and adjacent to the second end surface of the second can assembly, the at least one heating element positioned and configured to heat the first diamond volume and the second diamond volume; at least one pressure transmitting medium including salt and extending about the first can assembly and the second can assembly, wherein a cross-section of the cell assembly includes the first can assembly and the second can assembly being positioned laterally nearest to the at least one pressure transmitting medium; and a gasket medium defining a receiving space that receives the first can assembly, the second can assembly, the at least one heating element, and the at least one pressure transmitting medium therein, wherein a cross-section of the cell assembly includes the at least one pressure transmitting medium being positioned laterally nearest to the gasket medium.
