Scientists revealed the field of diamonds in Yakutia in the trillions of Karat
These stocks of mankind have enough for 3 thousand years.
Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the course of innovation forum «Interra» told about the large Deposit of superhard diamond, which can radically change the situation in the market of precious stones. According to the Director of the Institute of Nikolai Pokhilenko, speech can go about trillions of carats, transfers «ITAR-TASS».
As it turned out, the particularly solid diamond - импактитов with unusual properties were detected annually in the 1970s Soviet scientists. The Deposit is located on the border of Krasnoyarsk region and Yakutia in the area of Попигайской астроблемы, where about 35 million years ago was formed meteor crater.
However, the discovery of Soviet scientists decided to classify, since in those years, the government actively promoted the project to create a synthetic diamonds. After the lifting of the confidentiality of geologists were able to begin full-fledged study of the mineral.
Were that the diamonds in two times harder than normal. Besides, the found minerals differ in structure from a fellow. According to Pokhilenko, already the first results of the study enough to talk about a possible coup d'etat on the world diamond market: the resources of the unusual diamond, found in rocks астроблемы, on the order exceed those of all the explored world reserves, rocks here to trillions of carats, and this raw material enough humanity for 3 thousand years. The explored reserves of the deposits of Yakutia are assessed only in a billion carats.
Found the diamonds can be widely applied in industry, for example, in the processing of metals, manufacture of efficient semiconductors.
Meanwhile in other branches of the cool attitude to the valuable discovery. So, Deputy Director of the Institute "Якутнипромалмаз" Gennady Nikitin warns: «Попигайские diamonds can turn everything, and then what will be with the prices on this market - it is not clear».
