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!

Johnny,
If all goes well I should be in the US pretty soon. I am bringing a South African made diamond wash plant with me and as soon as I am settled in on the claim I will be in touch and you can come for a visit. Maybe we can sort something out. Andy |

Andy Hi Andy. Used to dig myself between Riverton pleasure resort and Windserton on place called Tipperary. Worked for DeBeers Geology back in the 70's I am at present in North Dakota working on the oilfields but is busy building a small prospecting plant and will take it to stateline area in Wyoming to hunt some diamonds there. Believe me there is plenty. Realy surprised that everybody is so focussed on hunting gold and overlook the better stuff."DIAMONDS" Man nothing like flipping that screen and there lies a 10ct shiny as hell. Anyways, let us know when you come over. Sure would like to meet up with you sometime. What kind of washplant are you bringing over from SA. We may even know each other. Remember Sam Cloete? Anyways look forward to hearing from you. FS |
