Abstract
Nuclear techniques for the determination of 39 impurity elements in diamonds are described. A common impurity chemistry was found for different diamonds and is considered to reflect the composition of the magma from which they crystallised. A relatively successful attempt was made to differentiate between diamonds from three different kimberlites by the application of discriminant analysis.
