COLORADO DIAMOND PROSPECTING, Colorado has diamond deposits, you just need to look... Options

[ASTROBLEME]

Hi Everyone:

Diamond prospecting isn't too hard if you know what to look for. This photo was recently posted publicly by another diamond expert (Dan Hausel) whom I've worked with and have grown to respect over the past few years. I am excited to now be able to share some knowledge through this forum as I have endured much difficulty in the early years while learning about diamond prospecting on my own.

The specimens in this photo are great examples of "indicator minerals" that were recovered from a diamond bearing area (Sloan Ranch kimberlite pipes #1 & #2) right here in Colorado. If you ever find minerals that resemble these specimens in any of your samples, I'd advise you to consider testing the prospect area for DIAMONDS!

Sincerely,

ASTROBLEME

as far as diamond bearing kimberlites in the stateline district go ,
lets go off facts ok

fact is all these kimberlites are found in an Archean portion of the Craton , Like everywhere else in the world that diamondifferious kimberlites are found . and these are a intrusions in this solid basement.

a volcanoe would burn a diamond up , a kimberlite freezez and isnt Molten hot , the second a diamond was Forged its frozen and preserved and within seconds kimberlite is transported to the surphase a frozen mass that thaws and then erodes , full of mantle rocks and misc specimens preserved in the kimberlite its undeniable the heat it takes to make a diamond but its undesputable at that temperature that shortly after the crystal is created it can be graphitized (burnt) .

as i posted before , when kimberlite erodes it releases acids and it disolves everything in it except diamond leaving a clay with other colored clays in it

WATCH THAT VIDEO 2 POSTS UP , you can see the kimberlites bieng made, CARBON DATING PROVES these pipes in colorado and wyoming to be between 200 and 800 million years old in age Coincidentally created at the same time these cratons were bouncing around which did infact happen, this is the best example i can give you as far as the creation and formation of diamond and kimberlites =Watch the videoArchean CRATONS

Dear Bennie:

I am totally in agreement on the kimberlite "freeze" process. The currently accepted theory is that the large content of carbon dioxide gas trapped within the kimberlite starts acting as a cooling agent when the pressure is released. Some of the diatreme walls I've seen at State Line don't show an alteration from heat like is found in volcanic activity.

My thinking is that once the pipe gets shot up from an impact over-pressure event on the crust, the fast moving kimberlite magma looses pressure as it breaks the surface and the carbon dioxide turns to gas. This pressure drop "freezes" the pipe. Super fast emplacement and if conditions were right, diamonds can be carried up and preserved in the process.

Impacts have been responsible for some kimberlite emplacement around the globe, but not all. At State Line, I am just saying that it sure looks to me like an ancient impact kicked off the process. There have been at least two major intrusive events in some selected pipes. Perhaps the initial ring-dike creation was from impact and the other intrusions were from subduction melting or other gaseous events.
