Hi Gord; I would like to see a number of the 25 largest stones displayed to get a general idea of shape and size, in comparison to a pencil eraser, a penny or a rice grain. It might give the uneducated a better understanding of the concept of rough diamonds, as most are picturing the finished product. A lot need to be educated from a grass roots level in order to advance the investment in equities that are just scratching the surface in North America. wj

Gord, Winspears drill samples with the three (3) Macro Diamonds they shipped to the lab? They couldn't have been laying loose in a fine sandy soil from a drill sample, and then just picked out with tweezers or through some standard seive. Because if that was the case, you'd get results back from the lab within a week. Instead, it takes 3 or 4 months, to receive Diamond results.!!!!! I was under the impression the diamonds must have been baked into hard rock somehow. Why else would it take 3 or 4 months to get the diamond results back from the lab? In the meantime, I saw that NWT diamond show and it looked like to me up on Diamet, diamonds on the top of that kimberlite pipe once the backhoe had cleared soil from the top were found loose in black soil. What do you think, where did those 3 macros originate (1) LOOSE SOIL or (2) HARD ROCK.????????
