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!

Wow! Very cool information, thank you Johnny. All those links work too by the way. Great reading!
I may have not worded myself correctly in my last post but I think I've got the gist of it. Great information for everyone to learn about, I'm sure everyone who's been reading along so far, and does in the future will find this an awesome thread! Keep it coming Johnny! We all really enjoy reading about your experiences and discoveries! Can't wait to see what is learned next that may cause a page or two from history to be adjusted.
