I guess no one is interested in giving me a straight answer.

I asked about inclusions. I'll repeat myself, this is from the news release:

"The broken stones are generally clear whereas the
two largest stones have inclusions and are slightly off-colour."

I would love it if a diamond expert could explain this but since there are none around I will offer the following provisional comment: coloured diamonds are good, milky stones with crud in them not so good.

In other words the stones are potentially of very low grade, possibly even worthless. Again we can't know until we get a bigger sample but indications are of a low grade source.

The other kimberlite pipes are most definitely worthless as the number of diamonds reported in the samples is "0" ZERO.

Time will tell.
