Geologists hold the appropriate expertise for locating the volcanic pipes that can produce diamonds.
Common indicator minerals, such as: ". . . chromium garnets (usually bright red chromium-pyrope, and occasionally green ugrandite-series garnets), eclogitic garnets, orange titanium-pyrope, red high-chromium spinels, dark chromite, bright green chromium-diopside, glassy green olivine, black picroilmenite, and magnetite.. . ." can lead the geologist to the pipe.
The primary diamond deposits mined on Earth's surface are called alluvial deposits. These deposits are found in riverbeds, beaches, and other areas where diamonds have been carried and deposited by water.
Russia has the largest diamond deposits in the world, with significant reserves located in Siberia. The region is home to the famous diamond mines such as Mirny, Udachny, and Jubilee. These mines contribute significantly to the global diamond supply.
Diamond mines are typically found in countries with rich deposits of diamond-bearing rock, such as Botswana, Russia, Canada, and Australia. In these countries, diamond mining operations extract diamonds from deep underground or from alluvial deposits in river beds.
A dentist locates the cavities in the teeth.
Georgia is not known for its raw diamond deposits.
Since not all diamond deposits have been discovered -- or fully mined, it is not possible to answer your question with any accuracy. Diamond mines in several African countries, in Canada and in Australia are profitable enough to be considered 'rich' in the sense that they make more money than they cost to operate.
No, Europe is not known for its diamond mines. The majority of the world's diamond production comes from countries in Africa, Russia, Canada, and Australia. Europe does not have significant diamond deposits.
Carbonado, commonly known as the "Black Diamond", is the toughest form of natural diamond. It is an impure form of polycrystalline diamond consisting of diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. It is found in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and mainly in Brazil.
The southern coast (coastal desert) of Namibia is named the Diamond Coast due to the large amounts of diamond deposits offshore.
Venezuela is not known for its raw diamond deposits. You can purchase a gem-quality diamond in any jewelery store that sells diamonds in Venezuela.
The Caribbean is not known for its raw diamond deposits, so you'll probably find most diamonds in that geography in the stores and shoppes.
