Interstellar diamonds in meteoritesPrimitive meteorites contain up to 400 ppm of a very fine-grained type of carbon tentatively called C-delta. Evidence is presented here that part of all of the C-delta is primary, not shock-produced, diamond formed by stellar condensation as a metastable phase. It appears that interstellar dust contains diamond.
