Diamonds are mined in the same way any other raw material is extracted from the earth, using digging equipment, large trucks and sorting strategies which separates the desired material from the composite.

Raw diamonds are not purified, but once fashioned by a diamond cutter can be enhanced to 'bring out' the colour of the diamond. Enhanced diamonds are less expensive than naturally coloured diamonds.
