VI.—The Diamond Matrices of Australia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
Since the exhibition of the diamond in a dolerite at York and Mexico by Professor Edgeworth David, great interest has been aroused in the Copeton occurrence. Specimens of the rock and concentrates washed from it were forwarded by the prospector, Mr. Pike, to several gentlemen who had expressed their desire to examine them, and amongst others to Professor Miers. It was my privilege, whilst at Oxford, to examine these specimens, and the results of this examination were conveyed in a letter to Mr. Pike. As he has published part of its contents in the Australian Mining Standard, it is desirable to place before British readers a more connected account, and at the same time to give an outline of the not very easily accessible Australian literature.
