Don't know much about diamonds, or gems in general, but doesn't that stone look like only half of an original stone?

They don’t talk to much about the diamond mines in Canada.Debeers has one north of Yellowknife that produces good carat opened around 2016.

Not sure if it wasn't just formed into that shape. 🤔

Do you remember when there was a lot of talk about the potential diamond mine here in Colorado.

I was selling drilling accessories to the mines back then and had a sales manager asked me if I was calling on that diamond mine, to see what a potential prospect for business it might be. I'd had already determined it was mostly a lot of hype and told that manager he needs to pay attention to the information I give him and not sit around reading magazine articles to get an accurate prospective on the directions we need to pursue.

I can not believe the price of gold glad I kept some back. You know us old miners we got have a little poke to carry around might want to go to Cabo and do some deep see fishing and thaw out.

Rjk Explorations is currently drilling and searching for the source of the 800 carrot yellow Nippising diamond, found near Cobalt, Ontario.
They've been at it a few yrs, not doing so well in my opinion. My penny stock went to, less than Pennies..

I listened to a show on radio several yrs ago about the grossly manipulated diamond industry. To cut it short, to keep prices artificially high, they say this is what happens. They mine more good diamonds than they let on, so many so that in reality they should only be worth a fraction of what they are. They keep a certain amount for the market and the rest are crushed for industrial and commercial use.

Who cares. It smells of retirement.

It might be a resorbed Diamond.
All Diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds in Arkansas are resorbed.. They cooled to slowly..
