Local Effects of a Kimberlite Eruption?

Message
[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6851053, member: 447632"] Any volcanic activity would be locally dangerous, but not so dangerous that it could not be bypassed, so it would not prevent transcontinental migration. If the eruption had covered a greater area in recent times, then there would be diamonds scattered widely across the region, but the kimberlite diamond pipes are a local feature. Diamond is a high pressure - low temperature mineral. It is unlikely that a red-hot fluid lava would be involved. It is more likely that erosion has exposed the deep kimberlite pipe, which continues to be weathered on the surface, concentrating diamonds in the soil. Where is the reference to that high rate of ascent? [/QUOTE]
