Carbonado typical gem diamonds. Lead isotope analyses have been interpreted as documenting crystallization of carbonados about 3 billion years ago. The carbonados are found in younger sedimentary rocks. Mineral grains included within diamonds have been studied extensively for clues to diamond origin. Some typical diamonds contain inclusions of common mantle minerals such as pyrope and forsterite, but such mantle minerals have not been observed in carbonado. In contrast, some carbonados do contain inclusions of minerals characteristic of the Earth's crust: these inclusions do not necessarily establish formation of the diamonds in the crust, however, because while these obvious crystal inclusions occur
Here Is What Is Here Is What Is Here Is What Is is the fifth studio album by Canadian songwriter and record producer Daniel Lanois.
