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
Carbonado (Java) as "Storables" in Carbonado, and they are defined by an interface or abstract class. Annotations are required to specify features which cannot be defined by Java interface alone. Every Storable must have an annotation describing the primary key of the entity. Carbonado Storables are not pure POJOs, and they must always extend the Storable superclass. By doing so, they gain access to various methods built into it. A Storable definition may also contain business logic, following the active record pattern. The actual implementation of the Storable is generated at runtime by Carbonado itself. The standard object methods of toString, equals
