The rare mineral contained in this beautiful diamond is a silicate mineral called Davemaoite and can only form in the lower layer or sub-mantle of the earth's crust.
A rare mineral from deep inside Earth's mantle has been found in an unlikely place - embedded inside a flawed diamond.
In diamonds pulled from deep within the Earth’s surface, scientists have found the first example of a mineral never seen before. The mineral is called davemaoite.
The newfound mineral, dubbed davemaoite, only exists deep in Earth’s mantle.

An elusive crystal predicted decades ago has finally been discovered trapped inside a diamond from deep Earth.
A team of researchers affiliated with a host of institutions in the U.S. has found a sample of a mineral previously believed to be unable to exist in nature.
Researchers thought the mineral was impossible to find on Earth's surface.

Equity. Representation. Political power. That’s what’s on the line as state lawmakers convene for a special session beginning Friday to approach the once-in-a-decade redistricting process, or the redrawing of political boundaries to account for demographic and population shifts.
The calcium silicate perovskite found in the lower mantle had been theorised but never seen before.
