Coesite as an Inclusion in G.E.C. Synthetic Diamonds

Abstract

IN the course of X-ray diffraction work on synthetic diamonds1, many specimens were found to contain polycrystalline inclusions. A sample of coesite2 made at the National Physical Laboratory, and kindly given to us by Sir Gordon Sutherland, has enabled us to identify it as the most prominent of the inclusions encountered (see, for example, ref. 1, Plate X, Figs. 1, 2).
