This specimen features a natural diamond crystal, 5 mm across, smuched into a very unusual conglomerate matrix. These matrix diamonds from Brazil are unique to my knowledge, and quite odd in aspect as they really are a conglomerate and the appearance is just unexpected as a diamond matrix. Nevertheless, here they are!
