Question, how does a diamond get inside of another diamond.?

I like pondering the question before looking for an answer…. nup, nothing comes to mind, goes reading.

“We have two main hypotheses,” says Alrosa’s Oleg Kovalchuk. “According to the first version, a mantle mineral captured a diamond during its growth, and later it was dissolved in the Earth’s surface. According to the second version, a layer of porous polycrystalline diamond substance was formed inside the diamond because of ultra-fast growth, and more aggressive mantle processes subsequently dissolved it. Due to the presence of the dissolved zone, one diamond began to move freely inside another on the principle of matryoshka nesting doll.”

But where did the dissolved material go ?

Back into the diamond?

Liquids are very good at disappearing through tiny cracks in rocks over geological timescales, geodes for example. Simple evaporation of one molecule at a time for instance.

But those aren’t diamonds. It still seems very mysterious, one could say unique.

(Unless of course it’s a fake, but it couldn’t be, could it).

A “Matryoshka” diamond found in the birth place of “Matryoshka” dolls? Nothing suss about that…
