A molten lava rock suddenly erupted on the surface with a loud bang. After six months it had cooled and solidified into a hard rock. When I broke it I saw blue colored crystals inside. So that rock is host rock called kimberlite and crystals inside are diamonds. Am I correct? Kindly reply or if I have misunderstood please rectify it by your clarification. Thank you
