Here's a little item I found on another forum.

This thin slice of a kimberlite rock from northern Canada, seen through a microscope and in polarized light, shows colorful minerals caught up in magma that rose from deep within the Earth.

Snow? LOL Diamond miners are made of sterner stuff..... Road to work!



Build in cooler box!




Cleaning the windscreen a light snow dusting.... GMF




As you can see we don't care much about a little bit of ice....The only good ice is them ones you can put in Whiskey
The rest one ignores!
Get out there and do the thing! lol

Love the pics! Too good! I think it's safe to say you're much further along in the process than me, but just as crazy lol! I'm just getting on the scent. It's funny because I've been wondering if you are in SA or the states and that answers that question. I was out and panning/sampling just last week after work.

Musk Rat,
Do not forget to take pictures of the area and stones that you find at the co-ordinates, we are waiting anxiously for your picture report here.
And make sure there is still snow on the ground....
Your Key is to find Chromium Diopside crystals, once you do you know you are .75 miles or less from the pipe.
Anthills are a good place to search for CR and G-10... you will not find small diamonds in any anthill, their little paws just cannot pick a diamond up since they are all covered with a natural oily layer...
Very good luck!

If you find it Claim it get the permits in order and I will bring the gear.

DD,
A couple spots will have to wait until spring thaw because they're locked under ice(more now than ever after this polar weather). I'm also anxious to head up to that other area I alluded to, but it's a good trek in even for the highly motivated. I'll be headed West and back on the trail asap. (My wife and I just welcomed our first child 3 weeks ago, but she knows I can't stay out of the hills long) There will no doubt be plenty of snow still and if I'm lucky some ice. I'm no geologist and I don't want to get your hopes up though. I know I'm on the right track, but how close to the finish line?
