Old book about an alien encased in a deposit of diamond












0















I'm hoping someone can remember the name of an old scifi book. A spaceship’s crew goes to a planet to mine a large deposit of diamond and find an alien entity encased in the diamond. They also go to the center of the galaxy in the story.
