Abstract
The geological studies in the Payalikhand area of Raipur district, have for the first time confirmed the occurrence of diamonds in Chattisgarh region of Madhya Pradesh. The presence of pyrope, ilmenite and chromediopside in the Payalikhand gravel has provided positive evidence for the close proximity of diamond bearing kimberlite or lamproite rocks in the area for which detailed studies are further needed.
