carbB_A: X-ray CT Scan of a 23.45-Carat Carbonado Diamond

The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility (UTCT) produced this X-ray CT scan of a carbonado diamond specimen. The scan was performed on 31 July 2008 and has a voxel size of 5.36 µm, comprising 1024 total slices. This research was supported in part by National Science Foundation grant EAR-0948842.

Use Cases

• Analyze the internal porosity and structure of a carbonado diamond based on the high-resolution CT scan.
• Train or validate image segmentation models for mineral inclusions based on the 3D volumetric data.
• Conduct comparative studies of diamond morphology based on the specimen's origin in the Central African Republic.

Strengths

• High-resolution scan with a precise voxel size of 5.36 µm.
• Clear provenance and creation date (31 July 2008) from a known facility (UTCT).
• Specific specimen details including carat weight (23.45) and geographic origin (Central African Republic).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for machine learning tasks.
