Photomicrographs of polished slabs of microinclusion-bearing fibrous diamonds. (a) ‘fully fibrous’ cuboid diamond from Canada (exact mine is unknown). The concentric layers define variation in microinclusion-density from center to edge. In this specific diamond (and in most fibrous diamonds) the composition of the microinclusions is homogeneous and does not show chemical radial variation, indicating it formed in pulses, but during a single growth event. (b) ‘cloudy’ diamond from Finsch, South Africa (Weiss and Goldstein 2018); with a cuboid internal zone of fibrous growth that is full of microinclusions, overgrown by a clear octahedral outer zone. (c) ‘coated’ diamond from Kankan, Guinea (Weiss et al. 2009); consists of an octahedral non-fibrous monocrystalline (NFMC) core and a fibrous coat. In this diamond, the concentric layers in the coat are characterized by different microinclusion compositions (i.e., a zoned diamond). (d) high magnification image of the fibrous coat in (c), showing thousands of microinclusions (black dots). See section ‘Morphology and Texture’ and ‘Homogeneity and zoning in individual diamonds’ for additional details.
