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

The US sanctions to ban Russian diamond exports has a problematic loophole. Restrictions apply to rough diamonds - but once they have been cut and polished, the country of origin no longer matters.
G7 countries buy about 70% of the world's diamonds - so a G7 ban could have an effect, if the diamonds can be traced.
