The occurrence of industrial diamonds is situated on the southern bank of Kumdykol Lake, 4km NW of Pavlovka village.
Diamond occurence relates to the crust of weathering of eclogites and garnet-muscovite schists. Some garnet grains were found in the crust of yellowish-green colour.
Octahedral diamond crystals 0.5-1.6mm in size were found in eclogite weathering crust and crystals more than 1mm were found in garnet-pyroxene rocks.
Fragments of crystals (2.95mm) are found in sands of Kumdykol lake. Gem-quality diamond 1.9mm across was recovered from the sands.
