Sadly, these are NOT diamond...and anything less than a diamond wears out quickly from playing abrasive shellac-compound discs. Crosley, of course, is a famous old name in home radio (as well as early "compact cars" before ecology had even been thought of...!) but whether this "Crosley" is a descendant firm, or simply some company over in the land of Hooflungdung that managed to scoop up the trademarks and "goodwill" for about 17 kabongs...
