No. Most volcanoes do not have kilberlite. Kimberlite is a rather unusual form of igneous rock found primarily in kimberlite pipes.
Nonoxizied Kimberlite is called Blue Ground, due to the blue color..Oxizdized Kimberlite is called Yellow ground due to the yellow color. It is a deep Tawny Yellow.
Kimberlite pipes are typically quarried using open pit mines.
This is impossible to answer with a finite number, because there may be undiscovered Kimberlite pipes in Botswana.
Apparently kimberlite pipes -- that can contain diamonds -- are volcanic formations that begin deep within the earth's mantle. Because diamonds and kimberlite -- and other semi-precious gems -- are formed in similar locations, some kimberlite rock contains diamonds. You can read more, below.
Yes. Kimberlite will dissolve in acid.
Kimberlite rocks are typically found in regions with ancient cratons, such as Africa, Canada, Russia, and Australia. These rocks are known for their diamond-bearing potential and are often associated with volcanic activity. Mining companies often search for kimberlite deposits as they can indicate the presence of diamonds.
No. Most volcanoes do not have kilberlite. Kimberlite is a rather unusual form of igneous rock found primarily in kimberlite pipes.
Kimberlite is a rare, blue-tinged, coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock that often contains diamonds. Some kimberlite deposits have been found in Western Kenya.
Nonoxizied Kimberlite is called Blue Ground, due to the blue color..Oxizdized Kimberlite is called Yellow ground due to the yellow color. It is a deep Tawny Yellow.
All diamonds are formed from carbon. Kimberlite and diamonds are both erupted to the earth's surface via volcanic pipes. Kimberlite is an indicator mineral, increasing odds for geologists that a volcanic pipe includes diamonds: not all pipes erupt diamonds with kimberlite. Kimberlite can be considered a 'neighbor' or 'kin' of diamond, but not a source.
Kimberlite, a type of volcanic rock, will vary in specific gravity according to its composition.
Kimberlite pipes are typically quarried using open pit mines.
Kimberlite is an indicator mineral for diamond, not the genesis of diamond, which is carbon. Individual diamond mines have varying ratios of kimberlite to diamond.
Kimberlite is the main ore of diamonds, but otherwise has little use to humans.
This is impossible to answer with a finite number, because there may be undiscovered Kimberlite pipes in Botswana.
All diamonds are erupted to the earth surface together with indicator minerals, including kimberlite. Other minerals are present in fertile kimberlite -- containing diamonds -- and absent in sterile kimberlite.
