Abstract:In order to study the formation conditions and growth process of the diamond in Mengyin county of Shandong province, previous research results on the crystal morphology, surface morphology, internal growth characteristics and inclusions of diamond have been summarized in this paper. It is showed that the crystal morphologies of Mengyin diamond are mainly four types of morphology, they are plane octahedron, stepped octahedron, polyshaped of octahedron and curved rhombic dodecahedron, curved rhombic dodecahedron. The surface morphologies of Mengyin diamond crystals are usually related to the growth process of the crystals, plastic deformation and dissolution after crystal formation. Twostage growth or multistage growth structure can be seen in the crystal. Graphite, olivine, chromite, magnesiaalumina garnet and chrome diopside are the common inclusions in the crystal. The variety of crystal characteristics indicates the complexity of physical and chemical conditions during the formation and growth of diamond.
