Kimberlite
Kimberlite（矿物名）
Kimberlite is not a specific mineral. It is rather a type of potassium-rich volcanic rock best known for sometimes containing diamonds. "It is named after the town of Kimberley in South Africa, where the discovery of an 83.5-carat (16.7 g) diamond in 1871 spawned a diamond rush, eventually creating the Big Hole. Kimberlite occurs in the Earth's crust in vertical structures known as kimberlite pipes. Kimberlite pipes are the most important source of mined diamonds today." (Wikipedia)
金刚石并不是一种特定的矿物。它更确切地说是一种富含钾的火山岩，以其有时含有钻石而著称。'它得名于南非的 Kimberley 镇，1871 年在该地发现了一颗重 83.5 克拉（16.7 克）的钻石，引发了钻石热潮，最终形成了 Big Hole。金刚石主要存在于地壳中的垂直结构——金刚石管中。金刚石管目前是开采钻石最重要的来源。'（维基百科）
