The Velikan dyke is composed of coherent, finely porphyritic (rarely, aphanitic) dark gray to black kimberlite of a massive texture. The groundmass structure of the of the kimberlite in the Velikan dyke is allotriomorphic granular and micropoikilitic. Olivine microcrystals of 0.1–1 are present within the kimberlite, comprising 3%–15% of the rock’s composition. The microcrystals are partially or completely replaced by serpentine. The shape of the microcrystals is oval, idiomorphic and subidiomorphic. The sub-vertical Velikan dyke forms a rocky outcrop 3 m thick and 8–10 m high. The strike azimuth of the dyke is 300 NE.
