Investigations of the nitrogen isotope ratio in natural diamonds

Description

A collection of natural diamonds from Namibia, consisting of yellowisch colored single stones, has been analyzed for the nitrogen isotope ratio. To this end the diamonds were graphitized in a special vacuum apparatus. The mass spectroscopic isotope analysis resulted in a mean delta 15N value of 1.5 +- 0.2 parts per thousand. The value is discussed on the basis of model considerations
