Preface

Name from	Qingsong Fang (1939–2010), Professor, an der Chinesischen Akademie der der gologischen Wissenschaften, welcher den ersten Diamant in den tibetanischen Chrom-reichen Gesteinen in den späten 1970ern fand. Zur Anerkannung für 4 neue Mineralien die er fand.
Author (Name, Year)	Larissa F. Dobrzhinetskaya, Richard Wirth, Jingsui Yang, Harry W. Green, Ian D. Hutcheon, Peter K. Weber und Edward S. Grew (2013)
Collector information	Für Sammler kaum als Mineral zu erhalten da bisher nur im Nanobereich nachweisbar. Synthetisch ist es allerdings als Schleifmittel (Barazon) bekannt.
