John J. Gurney
Diamond and Diamond Inclusion Collection
The collection represents decades of research and sample curation by the late John J. Gurney and kindly donated to UCT by James Gurney in 2024
Diamond research collection
We curate a collection of microdiamonds from around southern Africa. The collection is for research purposes only and is open to collaborations.
Diamond inclusion collection
The diamond inclusion collection is an archive of inclusions extracted from diamonds and mounted on glass slides. These inclusions are from past research projects spanning the last four decades.
Diamondiferous xenoliths
We curate a small collection of diamondiferous xenoliths, predominantly of eclogitic origin.
For more information on the collection and collaborations contact Dr. Geoff Howarth
