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 |

Musk_Rat,
When I compare your pics to the one of known indicators from the Sloan 1 & 2 diamondiferous pipes in the Stateline Mining District from Dan Hausel, there is very close resemblance IMO. Take a look at this post; Diamond Prospecting Here's the indicator photo I'm referencing...
Here is my opinion of the comparison of photos...

Astro,
I was curious if your were going to weigh in and happy you did. That's some pretty slick work with the pics and very compelling. From my previous post: "I'm not giving up on my spot. I'm finding everything that points to a deposit except the right minerals to convince [DD] lol." "I have set them aside to be potentially tested and haven't given up." I am continuing with optimistic scrutiny and some valuable perspective. I believe getting them lab tested is the only way to know for sure outside of finding a stone in my samples. I appreciate the feedback and knowledge all around. Musk_Rat |
