Why are diamonds found in kimberlite rock?
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.
Does kimberlite react to acid?
Yes. Kimberlite will dissolve in acid.
Do all volcanoes have kimberlite?
No. Most volcanoes do not have kilberlite. Kimberlite is a rather unusual form of igneous rock found primarily in kimberlite pipes.
Where is kimberlite found?
Kimberlite is a rare, blue-tinged, coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock that often contains diamonds. Some kimberlite deposits have been found in Western Kenya.
What color is kimberlite?
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.
Are most most diamonds formed inside kimberlite?
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.
What is the Specific gravity of kimberlite?
Kimberlite, a type of volcanic rock, will vary in specific gravity according to its composition.
How do trucks get to the bottom of a kimberlite pipe?
Kimberlite pipes are typically quarried using open pit mines.
How much kimberlite ore does it take to make 1 carat diamond?
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.
Are kimberlite rocks used for human purpose?
Kimberlite is the main ore of diamonds, but otherwise has little use to humans.
How many kimberlite pipes are in botswana?
This is impossible to answer with a finite number, because there may be undiscovered Kimberlite pipes in Botswana.
African diamonds are contained in what?
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.
