Here's a little item I found on another forum.
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id...onds_to_surface 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. Leonard |

MR
As for South Africa... you would not recognise it... turned into a war zone.... Last night I heard gunshots in Newlands! A posh area! I am here to buy more equipment. This whole country is doomed... crime is rampant. DD |

DD,
Travel safe my man! So sad to hear about SA... Luckily my friends live and work out in the bush, so are more worried about things with teeth lol. It's just probably starting to get cool down there and mean while we're in for a weekend of nice weather(I did go up last weekend, but mostly to prescout and stretch my legs), so I'll be strapping on the ol boots and heading West. Hopefully I'll have something good to report or at least know a little bit more than I do now. Drink a black label for me! MuskRat |

DD still haven't made it to those coordinates you gave me, but have been relatively fruitful in a couple other locations. Been prospecting until just a couple weeks ago, so now have been going through samples more closely from the summer and took some photos. Here are some indicators from my last area of interest.

MR,
Hows things.... No idea what indicators you got there but yeah.... its not for diamonds or Kimberlite. Diamondiferous kimberlites are very very rare. If you do not have the Coordinates it can cost Millions to find the right place. Dont give up.... Everyone learns the hard way! Maybe just follow the instructions go to the right spot.... (LOL) DD On the picture is what you want to see.... DD still haven't made it to those coordinates you gave me, but have been relatively fruitful in a couple other locations.
