I was looking up info on the meaning of 'olivine' and found that among other things, Diamed (DIR.M) has found similar type diamoniferous lamporites in Northern California. They said it's similar to Ashton of Australia, which has the largest diamond mine in the world. These deposits apparently contain a mixture of industrial and gem quality clear, colourless and yellow diamonds. I believe since we have also got kimberlite here in K14 etc. that this may be a mixed field which is why if you read back to earlier posts this year, there seems to be some hesitation from ACA about describing the precise geological mineral chemistry. I'm certainly no geologist so keep this in mind. I wonder if you can indeed have a mixed type field? I think I read that the silicates and some gases are in the olivine rich deposits which would also contribute to other "coloured stones" mentioned by ACA. Can anybody offer any real truth to what I'm trying to say? Cheers, Violetta
