Will - Given the dimensions for the largest diamonds: "The two largest stones measured 2.05x1.43x0.21 and 2.08x1.43x0.94 mm", doesn't the 0.21 dimension seem awfully small, perhaps indicating breakage? Do diamond occur naturally in these odd sizes?

ACA just reported "Artemisia is at least 150 m by 140 m in size....In a mini-bulk sample weighing 1,157 kilograms....an estimated diamond content of 17.3 carats per hundred tonnes...The largest diamond recovered was a colourless octahedral aggregate measuring 2.25 x 1.75 x 1.35 mm. The next two largest stones are whole colourless crystals and measure 2.05 x 1.93 x 1.00 mm and 2.05 x 1.38 x 1.20 mm, respectively. These data suggest that larger stones may be present."

Like JI FT, see low grade, large macros. ACA needed 5 times the material to get their 3 stones. On the surface, I say Freightrain results superior to Artemisia.

But just watch the bounce in ACA's price after the spin machine starts touting! JMHO

Yes, but look at the dimensions. These are not octahedral.

I know. So, the calculated weight should be between the two values.

Come on Will, you know that my first language is not english, but french. I may sometimes have difficulties translating what my thinking. So, please....

Do you prefer I comment in french?
