Blood diamonds are diamonds mined in a few countries in Africa, by humans at gun point, of all ages, who are forced to dig by hand or with simple tools to find raw diamond stones.
These diamonds are sold to fund terrorism, civil war, and general mayhem against humans by criminals and war lords involved in personal power struggles.
Consumers interested in avoiding blood diamonds -- thus limiting the monies available to criminals who trade in blood diamonds -- can require a Kimberly Certificate for the diamond being purchased.
