Orangeite as far as I know, does not contain diamond unless the diamond falls into it. A text book definition for kimberlite is: "A rock type that rarely contains diamonds" Only a small percentage carry some micro-diamond and from those fields that have micro-stones, only a few contain economic amounts of diamond. Some kimberlite have perfect geo-chemistry and no diamond, and other are off and produce diamond. The Lesotho diamond mine of DeBeer's produced only large stones and had almost zero micro count. As far as shapes I'm sure Orangeite is not unique and probably comes in all the usual shapes, pipes, dykes, sills... and I know someone will say kimberlite does not come in sill shapes after I post, but they do, I've seen them, never seen a cone sheet before. I've met Dr. Bob and he is not knowledgeable about diamonds, nice guy though. aj
