The article currently states the diamons at Popigai are "twice as hard" as normal and they contain lonsdaleite. Lonsdaleite has a hardness of 6-7 vs diamond at 10. I see the Russian source and various tabloids do say that, but seems such a claim requires a better source. The translated Russian source is hyping the story (is it a [[WP:RS]]?) and the tabloids follow along - any fact checking there?

Trustworthyness of Sources
For a piece of news that will shock the diamond dealing world, there is only one source - the Christian Science monitor. This source is repeated all places online, and they are seemlingly the only ones that know about this. Can someone confirm this from more sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.9.0.125 (talk) 09:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Location from Norilsk
Where is Popi really from Norilsk? The page says it's 'just North' of the settlement, but Google Earth says it's over 500 of either one or t'other away from Norilsk. I'm aware that one, other or both could be wrong, so what's the truth? Lady BlahDeBlah (talk) 23:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Add Crater Infobox?
Someone may want to apply crater template {{Infobox crater | crater_name = {{SUBST:PAGENAME}} | image_crater = | alt_crater = | caption_crater = | image_bathymetry = | alt_bathymetry = | caption_bathymetry = | location = | coords = {{coord|89|59|59|N|179|59|59|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|display =inline,title}} | type = | basin_countries = | length = | width = | area = | depth = | max-depth = | volume = | rim = | elevation = | cities = | reference = }}

"twice as hard"
The article currently states the diamons at Popigai are "twice as hard" as normal and they contain lonsdaleite. Lonsdaleite has a hardness of 6-7 vs diamond at 10. I see the Russian source and various tabloids do say that, but seems such a claim requires a better source. The translated Russian source is hyping the story (is it a WP:RS?) and the tabloids follow along - any fact checking there? Vsmith (talk) 10:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
