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 |

Hi,
Pictures of the land on top of a Kimberlite Pipe (Yellow ground) in Africa. Years ago I found the pipe by accident had it tested and was pleasantly surprised. The room was 14c the electron microscope showed the tiny diamonds and all the important indicators. I was smiling from ear to ear and the Geologist was sweating! He asked several times where I found the sample and was pretty upset when I refused to say! Now if only I had the money to start the mine! Have fun DD |
