There are some tests that a certified gemologist can conduct that can generally pinpoint the location or source of a diamond. Whether or not the diamonds came from the same 'mine', may be problematic, since many diamonds are harvested using techniques other than mining.

For example, if water runs over the volcanic pipe that pushed the diamonds to the earth's surface and diamonds are washed downhill, then harvested as alluvial diamonds, the mined volcanic pipe may be substantially distant from the alluvial diamond find. But the source is the same.

Where is the biggest industrial diamond deposit?

Seventy-five percent of all diamonds mined are useful only as industrial-grade diamonds. This means that all diamond mines contain significant amounts of industrial diamonds. Until all the diamonds are mined and the mines closed, it's not possible to tell which mine has produced the most amount of industrial diamonds.


How do you recognize a synthetic diamond?

You need to take it to a jeweler. He has a little gadget that he can use that will tell if it is a diamond or not. This is very simple and fast and takes about two seconds to do. Otherwise there is not a good way to tell one by just looking at it. They make these diamonds in a similar way that nature does and the only difference is that it came from a factory and a real diamond comes from a mine.

How much are blood diamonds worth?

Once the diamond reaches the end consumer it is worth the same as any other comparable diamond. You wouldn't be able to tell it was a blood diamond by looking at it because the blood diamonds come from the same mines as legitimate diamonds. The miner might receive $50.00 if they find a diamond.

When purchasing a diamond is it possible to find out where the diamond was mined?

i think that it would depend on the jeweler.  Possibly the country you are in as well.  A friend of mine knows what country hers is from, I am unsure if she knows that exact mine.  The jeweler told her the country and general area if was found If presented with an otherwise unidentified diamond, it is not possible to tell where it was mined from. There is a "Kimberley Process" that oversees the movement of rough diamonds, but once it is cut, it is difficult, if not impossible to trace it to its origin without knowing who cut it. If your jeweler knows what supplier they bought their diamond from, it may be possible to trace it back to the mine. Some wholesalers/cutters only buy from certain sources (e.g. Canadian mines) while others are vertically integrated from the mine to the wholesaler. If you are uncomfortable not knowing where your diamond came from (e.g. conflict diamonds), it is now possible to buy a lab-created diamond. These are identical to mined diamonds and the origin is guaranteed, since they come out of a machine rather than a mine.

Are there mines in Canada that mine diamonds?

As of 2009 there were no active diamond mines in Saskatchewan, but the area around Fort a La Corne is being actively explored and contains large amounts of kimberlite, which is being tested for profitability. Time will tell whether there are enough diamonds to justify a mine, which could cost $2 billion to get into production.
