Abstract—Diamond crystals from the M.V. Lomonosov deposit (Archangelsk oblast, Russia) were studied by luminescence and infrared spectroscopy. Three groups of crystals were distinguished according to their morphology, thermal history, and photoluminescence. The structural diversity of yellow cuboids typical for the deposit is demonstrated. New photoluminescence systems among the low-temperature cuboid crystals are observed.
