Kimberlite breccia. This is a kimberlite which contains angular pieces of the country rock. The pieces can vary in size and quantity.
Often when a pipe comes in pieces of wall rock get mied in with the kimberlite.
From what I understand at snap lake they have found two distinct types of kimberlite one being the dyke material and the other in boulders and at 186 is a kimberlite breccia. The fact that they also found pieces of coal and micro fossils in the breccia indicates that it came to surface at some place.
hope that helps a little
regards Walt
