Massive chromite mineralization

That is how it is described. Sounds to me like 'native chromium deposit'? I need the geos to address this one. I like the link with diamonds. No wonder DeBeers was / is interested in this area.

From Wikipedia:

Chromium is mined as chromite (FeCr2O4) ore....Though native chromium deposits are rare, some native chromium metal has been discovered. The Udachnaya Mine in Russia produces samples of the native metal. This mine is a kimberlite pipe rich in diamonds, and the reducing environment so provided helped produce both elemental chromium and diamond. (See also chromium minerals)
