SWY knows how to post diamond recovery
SWY knows how to post diamond recoveryhave a look - they kept all the diamonds from the 0.85 MM and larger for this sample and even gave a quik note on the colour and shapes of the stones they recovered!
". All diamonds recovered were greater than 0.85 millimetre using a square mesh sieve. The largest stone weighed 0.40 carat and was described as a white, transparent aggregate. Over all, the diamond population appears to be dominated by white transparent diamonds, with lesser amounts of brown diamonds and very little fibrous material. Predominantly dodecahedral followed by octahedral crystal forms as whole crystals and fragments, were observed. A detailed diamond study, including check weighing and analysis of morphology, is planned in the coming months. "
