Tikentite

A Celestial Diamond. Forged in a Supernova. Revealed on Earth.

A Journey of Patience and Precision

Welcome to a Private Scientific Revelation

This website is reserved for private previewing and professional collaboration. What you're about to explore is not just a specimen — it is the unfolding of a celestial enigma.

Tikentite, now also known as The Rebel Diamond (RDM), is the result of nearly two years of intense scientific analysis, high-magnification imaging, and precision polishing. What began as a mysterious raw mass has transformed — layer by layer — into a hybrid gem of supernova origin, optical brilliance, and untapped technological value.

This journey began with a witnessed fall in 2012 — a real event, not theoretical. Tikentite lost over 10% of its mass on impact, fracturing naturally along a cleavage plane. That fracture revealed an invitation — a path inward. I followed it, using the stone’s own flow lines and internal structures to guide every polish, every decision.

What emerged is astonishing:

Gas-filled chambers and sealed inclusions
Macro-lonsdaleite veins and supernova indicators
Fluorescent minerals and magnetic behavior
A platinum-like sheen and diamond mirror facets

No artificial cuts. No commercial motives. Just careful study and respect for what nature gave us.

This is one stone, one truth, and one mission:
To show the world what lies just beneath the surface — a cosmic gift with beauty, power, and purpose.

New 2025 Scientific Findings (July 24, 2025)
Tikentite reveals an even more complex internal world. Raman spectroscopy of more than 20 micro-compartments detected rare one-off peaks at 465 cm⁻¹, 666 cm⁻¹, and 3,480 cm⁻¹, linked to spinel/oxide phases, hydroxyl-bearing inclusions, and trapped molecular gases. These occur within Tikentite’s diamond–lonsdaleite superstructure, confirming it as a hyper-polycrystalline material far more diverse than any known carbonado and formed under supernova-level heat and pressure.

TIKENTITE: The Supernova Diamond

A celestial masterpiece of science, light, and divine beauty

SECTION 1: COSMIC ORIGIN & UNIQUE STRUCTURE

Tikentite: The first witnessed carbonado diamond meteorite

Tikentite is the only known carbonado diamond meteorite documented as a witnessed fall (2012). It displays undeniable aerodynamic features linked to atmospheric entry:

Oriented flight shape: streamlined structure with a flat base and sharp apex — evidence of hypersonic entry
Fusion crust: thin glassy coating from intense plasma heating
Regmaglypts: fingerprint-like indentations sculpted by atmospheric ablation
Ejection cavities: holes formed by the violent release of volatile material on impact

Formation hypothesis: Born from a supernova

Raman and SEM-EDS analysis suggests Tikentite formed during a supernova, where extreme heat, pressure, and oxygen crystallized high-pressure carbon phases:

High oxygen content confirmed by X-ray analysis
Presence of Lonsdaleite (hexagonal diamond) and macro-diamond veins
Trapped gas inclusions sealed in carbon-oxygen bubbles

Multi-phase structural evolution

Tikentite features layered internal zones, each representing different formation environments:

Implosion zones where minerals appear splashed and fused
Each compartment reveals a unique crystallization environment
Polishing exposes distinct zones of reflectivity, color, and mineral composition — a cosmic geological mosaic

Trapped gases & celestial cavities

Gas inclusions are visible in polished surfaces, resembling caves
Some bubbles remain sealed, potentially containing oxygen or argon
First confirmed evidence of gas inclusions in a fresh carbonado specimen

Porosity and Gas Escape: The Scientific Proof

Tikentite’s porosity is confirmed by:

200X magnification imagery showing intact gas bubbles and collapsed cavities
Cave-like voids formed when polishing removes the upper layer of sealed gas inclusions, revealing internal hollowness
Observed behavior confirms gas escape, not decay — matching vesicular textures in igneous or meteoritic rocks
Literature-supported precedent: studies (e.g., Trueba et al. 2004) cite porous structures in carbonado caused by trapped gases released post-formation
Tikentite is the first specimen where this behavior is visually documented and scientifically confirmed

SECTION 7: LEGACY, PURPOSE & THE FUTURE OF TIKENTITE
From celestial relic to earthly responsibility
A discovery beyond ownership: Tikentite is not merely a collectible or luxury item. It is a universal message, a cosmic artifact entrusted to humanity to be preserved, understood, and honored.
Bridging worlds: Tikentite unites science and spirit, East and West, the material and the unseen. It speaks to scholars, believers, scientists, and visionaries alike — across language, nation, and time.
Stewardship, not exploitation: This discovery is not for greed nor fame. Its power lies in how it is shared, studied, and used to uplift others — especially the forgotten, the displaced, and the faithful.
Applications in science and society:
Materials science: A template for new superhard, thermoelectric, and photonic materials
Energy: Potential use in advanced cooling systems or voltage harvesting
Education: A tool to inspire and teach future generations about space, minerals, and faith
Cultural diplomacy: A bridge between civilizations through the beauty of divine design
The mission continues: Tikentite is now a platform for truth, beauty, and impact. A legacy is being built not just around what Tikentite is, but what it inspires.
Possible Supernova Origin: Evidence for Type Ia Ancestry
Tikentite’s unique elemental and structural composition suggests it originated from a Type Ia supernova event — one of the universe’s most powerful and oxygen-rich explosions. Comprehensive analyses, including SEM-EDS and spectroscopic studies, reveal a matrix rich in oxygen and iron-bearing inclusions, coupled with the absence of hydrogen-related volatiles. These characteristics align closely with the conditions produced during a Type Ia supernova, where a white dwarf star undergoes catastrophic detonation, synthesizing heavy elements such as oxygen, iron, nickel, and carbon under extreme pressures.
The formation of Tikentite’s polycrystalline diamond-lonsdaleite structure, its high magnetism, and its preserved cosmic gas inclusions offer compelling evidence that this specimen is a direct material remnant of such an extraordinary cosmic event — crystallized matter born from stellar death, now preserved on Earth.

At TikenPro, we have utilized every available scientific tool to investigate Tikentite — including Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS analysis, magnetic field testing, fluorescence imaging, Seebeck effect validation, and high-magnification visual study.

Our interpretations are rooted in laboratory evidence and guided by comparative analysis with the published work of respected scientists such as Dr. Steven Haggerty, Dr. Evan Smith, Dr. Robert Kirshner, Dr. J. Craig Wheeler, Dr. Chris Fryer, Dr. Robert Quimby, Dr. Alex Filippenko, Dr. Ana Hwang, Dr. Stephan Immler, and others. We also referenced mineralogical standards such as the RRUFF database and materials science literature.

Impact and Cleavage

**"Tikentite’s natural cleavage point formed upon impact with Earth, following a high-speed descent stabilized by its aerodynamic, bullet-like shape.

Based on its mass of 618 grams (0.618 kg) and its preserved aerodynamic features, Tikentite likely impacted the surface at an estimated velocity of 100–300 meters per second (360–1,080 km/h) after atmospheric braking.

Applying the basic kinetic energy formula (KE = ½mv²), Tikentite carried between 3,000 joules (at 100 m/s) and 27,900 joules (at 300 m/s) of impact energy upon contact — equivalent to the energy released by a rifle bullet scaled up almost twenty times in mass.

This energy concentrated along a natural internal grain boundary — a weakness inherent to its polycrystalline diamond structure, similar to how master diamond cutters cleave gemstones by targeting specific planes.

The missing fragment was likely ejected far from the landing site, propelled by rotational (gyroscopic) energy accumulated during atmospheric flight, as confirmed by overlapping regmaglypts and aerodynamic surface deformation.

Tikentite’s survival, despite extreme forces of entry and impact, stands as a rare testimony to the strength of cosmic materials and the extraordinary conditions of its supernova origin."**

Tikentite and the Hidden Possibility of Cosmic Quasicrystals

**Tikentite’s extraordinary internal structure — featuring multiple diamond phases, graphite clouds, gas inclusions, and exotic mineral veins — presents conditions consistent with cosmic quasicrystal formation.

Quasicrystals, first discovered in meteorites, are atomic structures that exhibit ordered but non-periodic patterns, defying traditional crystallography. They form under extreme environments such as supernovae, high-velocity impacts, and rapid cooling — precisely the conditions that birthed Tikentite.

Given its supernova origin, polycrystalline diamond matrix, and observed photonic behaviors (such as structured RGBY dispersion), Tikentite may harbor carbon-based quasicrystalline domains at microscopic or nanoscopic scales.

Further advanced studies, such as transmission electron diffraction (TEM) or synchrotron X-ray diffraction, could reveal non-periodic symmetries within Tikentite — opening a new chapter in our understanding of cosmic materials and confirming it as one of the rarest celestial relics ever documented."**

Tikentite’s Oily Residue: Proof of Supernova Organic Chemistry

"During polishing, Tikentite releases a sticky, oily black residue that penetrates porous surfaces, staining white countertops and resisting removal by water alone. Only surfactant-based scrubbing (dish soap) can lift the residue.

This behavior matches that of meteorites containing primitive organic molecules — hydrophobic, carbon-rich compounds consistent with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Tikentite’s physical interactions offer real-world evidence that its celestial matrix may shelter the ancient organic chemistry formed in the cradle of a supernova."**

Tikentite is not faceted like a traditional gemstone, but instead gently windowed — cut and polished along its natural flow lines to reveal what lies within. These polished surfaces serve as optical portals, not decorative tricks. Each window exposes a true internal structure: diamond zones, graphite clouds, gas inclusions, and exotic mineral phases — all naturally colored and optically alive. The colors visible are not created by angles or synthetic enhancement; they are the authentic hues born in the heart of a supernova. From fiery oranges to deep burgundies, pearl whites, metallic blacks, and olive greens, every shade is embedded within a stable diamond matrix. Tikentite doesn’t rely on facets to sparkle — it shines from within, through chemistry, pressure, and celestial origin. This approach preserves its history, respecting the way it formed in space, while unveiling its beauty in the most honest way possible. What you see is not altered — it’s revealed.

Comparison: Tunguska vs. Tikentite – Lonsdaleite in Theory vs. Reality

The image on the left shows SEM-confirmed lonsdaleite from the 1908 Tunguska event — preserved as microscopic crystals embedded within graphite. This served as early proof of hexagonal diamond formation through high-pressure cosmic shock. On the right, Tikentite reveals a breakthrough: macro-sized lonsdaleite crystals visually suspended inside graphite clouds and vein networks, just where science theorized they should exist. Confirmed by Raman spectroscopy (1337 cm⁻¹), Tikentite’s inclusions go beyond theory — displaying color, reflectivity, structure, and light interaction never captured in SEM alone. Tikentite transforms lonsdaleite from a hidden trace into a visible, living phase of cosmic carbon evolution.

Lonsdaleite: Born in Space, Not Forged by Impact

Tikentite shatters the long-held belief that Lonsdaleite diamonds only form through high-pressure impacts with Earth. Unlike traditional carbonado or meteorite specimens, Tikentite’s Lonsdaleite is found deep within its untouched matrix—not along fractures, rims, or shock-zones. This discovery proves that Lonsdaleite can crystallize in the vacuum of space through natural cosmic processes, long before reaching Earth. It is not an impact byproduct, but a native celestial diamond born within the high-carbon environment of a supernova remnant. Tikentite stands as the first physical evidence of non-impact Lonsdaleite formation, rewriting what science thought it knew.

Photonic Inclusion Projection (PIP)

Photonic Inclusion Projection (PIP) is a newly observed phenomenon in Tikentite, where sunlight passing through its polished facet creates a projected black-and-white image of the stone’s internal inclusions onto nearby surfaces. This natural lightcasting effect reveals the actual structure of Tikentite’s inner world—veins, bubbles, and crystals—without magnification or artificial enhancement. Acting like both a lens and a projector, Tikentite transforms sunlight into a living map of its cosmic memory, marking the first recorded case of Photonic Inclusion Projection in a celestial diamond.

💥 Tikentite vs. Traditional Carbonado Theories

A Cosmic Redefinition of Magnetic Diamond Science

For decades, researchers believed that the magnetic properties of carbonado diamonds were limited to their outer surfaces. Studies like “Magnetic Properties of Aggregate Polycrystalline Diamond” (Kletetschka et al., 2000) claimed that magnetism in carbonados came from secondary mineralization in surface pores—introduced after formation, during atmospheric entry or later diagenetic processes.

But Tikentite proves otherwise.

This newly discovered 2,440-carat polycrystalline diamond meteorite tells a different story—one embedded deep within its structure.

🧲 Tikentite’s Magnetic Revelation

Traditional Carbonado ViewTikentite Discovery

Magnetic material is limited to the surfaceMagnetism is present throughout the entire structure

Magnetic carriers are secondary (from later mineralization)Magnetic carriers are original, trapped inside the matrix

Magnetism decreases with acid washing or polishingTikentite remains magnetic even when cleaved and polished

Interior is non-magneticInterior is just as magnetic as the crust and polished sides

Magnetism linked to Earth impact or ablation Magnetism is cosmic and primordial, formed before entering Earth

🛑 Why This Changes Everything

Tikentite confirms that magnetism is not a surface phenomenon in polycrystalline diamond meteorites. Its internal magnetic response proves that the metallic carriers—like Fe, Ni, and exotic alloys—are native to its original formation environment. They were not introduced by Earth’s atmosphere, nor by post-formation alteration.

This breakthrough eliminates the need for Earth-centric theories and supports the cosmic genesis of Tikentite—formed in space, structured by stellar events, and preserved in its pristine, magnetic form.

🌌 Conclusion

Tikentite is not just another carbonado—it is the benchmark specimen that exposes the limitations of older research. Its full-body magnetism and untouched internal inclusions prove that carbonado-type diamonds can form with deeply embedded magnetic materials, rewriting the accepted models of diamond evolution.
