Carbon-in-pulp
a process to recover gold from a cyanide leach slurry. Coarse, activated carbon particles are moved counter-current to the slurry, absorbing the gold.
Carbon and Related Structures:
Crystalline lattice refers to the atoms in a crystal that are arranged in a regular repeating pattern. The property or attribute of a crystal is highly determined by its lattice.
Carbon Spot
This is a false and misleading term. Correctly, a dark-appearing inclusion, is generally not uncrystallized carbon. Diamond is 99.95% pure carbon. Over 25 mineral inclusions have been found inside diamonds.
CARBON SPOTS. Opaque black spots in the body of a diamond.
CARBONADO. Brownish, black variety of diamond; large pebbles or masses of diamonds, nearly pure carbon.
Carbonate Minerals
Two very important minerals and a flock of minor, but popular minerals.

Carbon Spots: An inaccurate term used by some people in the jewelry industry to describe the appearance of certain inclusions in a diamond.
CARBON SPOTS - Any black-appearing inclusions in a diamond caused by the addition of the minerals graphite or hornblende.
Carbon: A non-metallic element that occurs in all organic compounds and many inorganic compounds. Carbon is combustible and has the interesting ability to bond with itself, as well as with many other elements.
Carbonado Imperfectly or partially crystalised diamond.
Cavity A hole or void in a diamond or other gemstone, either internal or extending to the surface.
Carbon Spots: Diamonds are carbon that has been compressed over time. Carbon spots are a kind of flaw, or "inclusion", found in diamonds showing as black spots inside the clear diamond.
Carbon: An inclusion in a diamond that appears black to the unaided eye. Usually carbon (graphite) or small particles of another mineral.
carbon Diamond's primary composition. A diamond made of pure carbon would be colorless.
carbon spots They do rarely occur in diamond and are usually mistaken for dark included crystals.

CARBON SPOTS
Since diamonds are made up of highly compressed carbon, black carbon clusters can often be found. These spots are also called inclusions.
CARBON A Diamond is composed of pure Carbon. Carbon, when subjected to tremendous amounts of heat and pressure, crystallizes. Many Diamonds do not completely crystallize.
