Will do! Me and my wife have a mineral claim in CO on kimberlite, I have a bunch of it that we brought back to the house. Iâm just not sure how to crush it without crushing the potential diamonds :/
The Arkansas âpipeâ has a long record of producing gem quality stones. They run a disk plow over it periodically, but people are allowed to dig little pits into it harvesting stones. Assiduous searching apparently provides some long time prospectors with a more or less meager subsistence income.
Much luck to you on extraction of gems from matrix. I canât advise on methodology. Some sort of industrial grade process seems indicated.
I had planned to retire within bicycle distance of it, but alasâŚ. If you do go take a handheld UV light as diamonds fluoresce.
