Diamond Evidence in Court from Meteoric Source
The court heard an unusual case as experts testified that meteoric diamonds can occur in volcanic vents and meteorite deposits. Mr. Tennestein and Inspector Abingdon weighed the rarity and origin of the diamonds found with a boy, while a scientist described diamond formation and meteoric provenance. The magistrate noted the testimony clarified the potential source and value, around fifty thousand pounds, with emphasis on the diamonds' meteoric rather than terrestrial origin.
