COLORADO DIAMOND PROSPECTING, Colorado has diamond deposits, you just need to look... Options

[ASTROBLEME]

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

Ha ha good post. thanks for the pics!!! I like the rainbow, it will lead you to gol.....errr....diamonds. I also like the fact that trees tend to not like that type of ground. I had no idea of that. Is that generally the same for all over the world with pipes? Cool keep these post coming. Good read

Trees dont like to grow into these pipes , I believe it to be a response from the tree , not wanting to set roots in the magnetic and conductive soils , I have seen baby trees growing in pipes but I Imagine the blue clays blended with the country grus to make a tolerable soil when these were setting roots(see attatched photo). Worldwide there is trees that do grow in pipes and its reported that some of these orchards are much lusher and green that the surrounding Trees , Probibly due to the high micro-nutrient content of these eroding blue clays. I dont believe the trees Cant Grow in kimberlite , I Believe it to be true that the trees just dont want to, but when tricked into growing in it , they grow great (notice the large tree bigger than all the others and the 2 baby trees all growing in a wheathered pipe)

I believe it to be forseeable that trees can grow in pipes , under rare unknown circumstances trees can be tricked into setting roots.
but Trees in general dont want to grow in it and they generally dont. but they could grow in it (see attached image) , I believe if theyre tricked into planting roots , theyll like it , and grow in it

Cool Stuff , hope this answered your question Jason ...

These pipes can be found under mountains under valleys and even under lakes ,

I estimate that Lake anomolies in general make up less than 8% of known kimberlites world wide.
as far as lakes , there has been a number of these lakes anomolies discovered in canada in recent years ,Some of these lakes are now world class Diamond Mines , and these lakes had very rich kimberlite but is burried under 50- 100 meters of unmine-able kimberlite, some examples of these lakes that are recieving a bunch of attention in canada are ; SnapLake ,KirklandLakes ,PellattLakes ,Wekusko Lakes ,Contwoyto Lakes ,small lake ,Smile Lake ,Mud Lake ,Whitefish Lake , and others , based of some of the field reports reguarding these Canadian lakes , I have a neutral opinion on the colorado lake anomolies, some cases were destinctly simmilar to Canada some werent.
These Colorado anomolies 10 miles South Of The State-Line District Could Be Great Sites , the likleyhood a collector would find anything is near impossible, and most if not all of these Lakes are claimed and off limits in that capacity , Diamonds when mined are found by bulk loads by the metric tons or tonnes and ore grades are calculated by the 100 metric tons or 100 tonnes , ore grades for commerrcial mining vary anywhere 35.CPHT's-300+CPHT's (carats per hundred tonnes) . Hausel wrote "even the richest deposits , diamond is less than 1 part per million"

as a personal request to anyone reading , please dont vandalize claims , or act on anything im posting , this is soley for educational purposes to those who want to learn a little about kimberlites and how to identify them ,

Im writing a great How To Book ; on how to find and identify kimberlites and even help you prove out an kimberlite or unconventional host rock in the field !!! .
should make for some interesting reading to say the least , when completed I hope to get her published iin the future
