Our Diamond Shape is Important

Octhedron diamond shapes





This last picture is the best example of Octhedron shape diamonds we have found all these pictures are lifted from our anns dating back to 2014 why is this shape important and why are we finding them

Abstract
The paper presents new data on the morphology of more than 3200 diamond crystals from kimberlite pipes of the Catoca field located in the Lunda diamond-bearing province of northeastern Angola. The diamond crystals from particular pipes of this field differ in their morphology and their physical and mineralogical properties. Octahedrons are predominant in the morphological spectrum of crystals from the Catoca and Kamitongo pipes, indicating more favorable conditions for diamond growth and preservation in comparison with diamonds from the Kakele pipe, where rhombic dodecahedrons are prevalent. In general, morphological and other mineralogical features of diamond crystals may be used in appraisal of the diamond-bearing potential of their primary sources in northeastern Angola.

Other Source
The slightly misshapen octahedral shape of this rough diamond crystal in matrix is typical of the mineral. Its lustrous faces also indicate that this crystal is from a primary deposit.

Manfred Marx As a rule of thumb, the older gravels, starting with the basal Calonda units are less mature but the diamond grades are higher (closer to source) and the diamond quality is generally lower than the 12 diamondiferous younger more mature gravels (further from source) which now occur as terraces along the active rivers.

Shape is paramount we have the right shape to be close to the primary source and also determines price as well
