Care & Maintenance
Standard handling for mineral specimens; keep dry and avoid heavy impact to prevent fracturing
Interesting Facts
The image shows a dark rock matrix with white mineral veins (likely quartz or calcite), which is frequently mistaken by novices for diamond-bearing kimberlite or raw diamond ore.
