Abstract Electron microscopy of five pure type IaB diamonds (showing no trace whatever of a B′ infrared absorption peak due to {001} platelets) reveals voidite distributions unlike any reported before. In three of the crystals the voidites are distributed at random, and are not associated with degraded platelets, which themselves are not present in these specimens. These observations show that voidite formation and platelet degradation are distinct independent phenomena. The other two speamens showed only arrays of dislocations that patently resulted from plastic deformation: no voidites were seen. The non-formation of platelets in diamonds showing such an advanced stage of nitrogen aggregation is unexpected, and places these diamonds in a category distinct from that called ‘irregular’, in which platelets have indeed formed, but then experienced, to some degree, a process of transformation to perfect dislocation loops.
