Grade-tonnage and other models for diamond kimberlite pipes
These models are not applicable to kimberlite dikes and sills or to lamproite pipes. Diamond kimberlite pipes contain a median 26 million metric tons (mt); the median diamond grade is 0.25 carat/metric ton (ct/mt). Deposit-specific models suggest that the median of the average diamond size is 0.07 ct and the median percentage of diamonds that ...

In Search of Diamonds: An Introduction to Kimberlite Exploration
The process of exploring for diamonds is actually exploration for the host rock that carried the diamonds to the surface – kimberlite. Kimberlite is a volcanic rock that occurs in diatremes, or narrow volcanic "pipes". It may also occur in vertically oriented narrow sheets, or dikes. Once a kimberlite is found there is no guarantee that ...

Several cluster defining a kimberlite field, with each may have 1–20 pipes in close proximity with each other (Mitchell, 1986). The average diameter of the kimberlite field is about 40 km (Janse, 1985).

As a rock, rather than a single mineral, the chemical makeup of kimberlite varies. In general, it's high in magnesium and potassium minerals, while low in silica. Kimberlite that is on the surface is often yellow in color. This is due to deposits of limonite that occur on kimberlite during natural weathering. In diamond mining, this is ...
