Short summary
It was determined that growth bands showing the straight birefringence in octahedral sectors and the enrichment of graphite inclusions in cuboid sectors of Zimbabwean mixed-habit diamonds may both be due to the fluctuation of temperature during crystallization, and they displayed positive anomalies of plastic deformation, residual stress, nitrogen concentration, and VN3H defects. This conclusion clearly revealed the correlation between birefringence and spectroscopic properties of diamonds.
