Since raw diamond stones, once extracted from the earth, go through many steps before becoming gem-quality stones, it depends on what kind of processing you're interested in learning more about.
First, the stones must be separated from the soil that contains them. Then the stones must be sorted according to size, colour and other potential commercial measurements and brokered to 'manufacturers'. Finally, the stones must be planned, cut, polished and graded. Then, the stones are sold into the retail environment, where they can be purchased for adornments.
These processes take place all over the world, principally in Africa, Canada, Australia, India, the Netherlands and in New York City.
