Raman spectroscopy is used to identify minerals in isolated sealed inclusion chambers in some New South Wales (Australia) diamonds and to determine the remnant internal pressure on each inclusion with values of each: 3.03, 3.31 and 3.54 - 3.62 GPa for coesite, 0.42, 1.36 and 2.3 GPa for diopsidic omphacite, and 0.8 GPa for grossular garnet, each determination for a different uncut stone. The diamond stress due to remnant pressure was found to be proportional to the maximum strain birefringence around each inclusion, as measured by the Berek compensator, with the constant (K = 1000 / 5.8, R2 = 0.93) independent of the inclusion mineral, size, orientation and shape within the limits of error. Thus, simple birefringence measurements of diamond adjacent to inclusions can be used to estimate remnant pressures on inclusions. The calibration shows that one of the stressed diamonds has an anomalously low strain birefringence. |
