Abstract
Natural diamonds are usually considered as having been grown in magma, the constituents of which are not easily determinable. An infra-red examination of a coated natural diamond indicates the presence of varying amounts of carbonate and water in the concentric rings of the coat region, which suggests that the diamond grew in a magma containing carbonate and water.
