Kimberlite close-up

Locality: Wawa (Michipicoten Township), Algoma District, Ontario, Canada

Detail of kimberlite north of Wawa. Note the brecciated texture, a characteristic of kimberlite. The cleft was cut for collecting samples to analyze for possible diamond content. As of yet, no diamond mining has begun in the area. Photograph Norman King, 2004.
