Evidence

"11 pieces, white and tinted. Diameter: ca. 1.5-5 mm. Total weight: ca. 5 ct. (Inventory No. K 3.14)"

Remarks

Diamond is referred to as the hardest of all stones which, unbreakable in itself, can reduce to small pieces all other stones (and metal, with the exception of black lead). Arabic sources mention only India as the deposit site (p. 166).
