Forms Of Diamonds. A peculiar modi-
fcatiOn of diamond, known as "carbo.
nado," which Ia as unstghtly as cast
iron, Is sold for use In rOckboring ma
chimes, at an average price of eighteen
to twonty shillings the carat. Fifteen
years ago an unlimited supply of this
substance was offered to LondOnssmer-
chant, at the ridIculously low price Of
threcpence 4 carat; the Amsterdam
cutters, however, reported unfavOrably
rs to Its employment In their trade, and
the proposal was declined. 1t was
never renewed; for shortly after wards
the serviceableness of the stone (Which
is as hard as diamond itself) both for
rock drilling and gem engraving, was
discovered, and from drug In the mar
ket 1t became an object Of energetic
competition. 'Carbonado" resembles
In appearance certain me-, eoric stones
of a blackish- brown hue and crystalline
texture. 1t is composed of the same
material rs diamond, and Is III fact sup
posed to be diamond which has some
how got spoiled In the making. It Is
found In masses Of from one to Two
pounds in weight, and only In the
neighbOrhood Of Bahia, for The Jumps
Of "carbon" occasionally met with in
south Africa are deficient IN hardness.
and thus seem TO have been arrested ut
a still earlier stage Of their process to-
wards mineral perfection. Bort
which Is another deficient member OF
the diamond family, but is nevertheless
also highly priced in the arts, consists
of an aggregation Of tiny crystals,
mixed, like black diamonds OF Borneo,
with certain proportion OF famorphous
carbon. We see In 1t failure or u freak
Of nature; and just as the ring OF as.
teroids in the solar system is sup.
posed to represent single majestic
planet, so the forces thus scattered In
separate centres of crystallizattoI
would, presumably, under normal con
diti0ns, have united to form one radi'
