there Are  natural and artificial abrasive materials.

Artificial abrasives is more stable physical and mechanical properties as compared with the natural. At the present time the artificial abrasives almost completely superseded in the industry of the natural. To artificial abrasive materials are synthetic diamond, boron carbide, silicon carbide, technical glass, borazon (борозон), aluminium oxide, etc.

To the natural (natural) abrasive materials, which has industrial value, are diamond, garnet, sapphire, silicon, etc.
