# How to find and mint NatDiamonds

**Disclaimer:** If you choose to mint NatDiamonds, please do so at your own risk.\
\ <mark style="color:red;">**This tutorial  is valid but obsolete : you can now easily mint on MScribe:**</mark> \

#### Step 1: Familiarize yourself with NatDiamonds traits <a href="#step-1-familiarize-yourself-with-natcats-traits" id="step-1-familiarize-yourself-with-natcats-traits"></a>

Review [Traits Documentation](/natdiamonds-doc/traits-documentation.md) to understand how NatDiamonds  traits are assigned.

#### Step 2: Find a NatDiamonds block <a href="#step-2-find-a-natcats-block" id="step-2-find-a-natcats-block"></a>

First, find a Bitcoin block that contains the pattern **21** in the hexadecimal bits field for Bitcoin's block data. You can do this by looking up a block in a Block explorer like <https://blockstream.info/>, or by querying Bitcoin block data.

#### Step 3: View NatDiamonds  <a href="#step-3-view-natcat" id="step-3-view-natcat"></a>

Once you have found a block number that is associated with NatDiamonds , enter the block number in the [NatDiamonds viewer ](http://natdiamonds.xyz)to visualize.

#### Step 4: Check availability <a href="#step-4-check-availability" id="step-4-check-availability"></a>

Each NatDiamonds can only be inscribed once. So once you find a block number for a NatDiamond you like, you'll want to see if anyone else has inscribed it already. You can confirm that the block has not already been minted, by searching for the contents of the mint inscription for the given block (see step 5) via an ordinals search tool such as <https://unisat.io/search>.&#x20;

*Note: search tools like Unisat search will honor spaces when searching, but spaces are ignored in DMT mint syntax. To confirm availability, it is recommended that you search for mint syntax with and without spaces.*

#### Step 5: Mint <a href="#step-5-mint" id="step-5-mint"></a>

To inscribe your NatDiamonds mint, enter the mint inscription text in the text inscription platform of your choice, and replace \<yourblocknumberhere> with the bitcoin block number for your NatDiamonds.

**Inscription text:**

Copy

```
{
"p":"tap",
"op":"dmt-mint",
"dep":"aea69ff971426c29bf3f8ce9efa9f014c02334abc1f25eefc6879e0bcf860511i0",
"tick":"natdiamonds",
"blk":"put-your-blocknumber-here"
}
```

#### Step 6: Confirm <a href="#step-6-confirm" id="step-6-confirm"></a>

Once your inscription is confirmed, you can view your NatDiamonds on [Mscribe](https://mscribe.io/) under "My Inventory" > "UNATs" (requires wallet connection). If your inscription was successful, you will see it reflected in the count in your NAT inventory.
