India im the man so shut up i found it
I heard on NPR last year that the total amount of all the gold ever mined would fill two Olympic swimming pools. But I bet this answer will be much harder to find for diamonds. Diamonds are most likely not as rare as they are purported to be. They are used industrially on a much wider scale than industrial uses of gold.
Diamonds are mined, not quarried. Diamond mining involves extracting diamonds from the earth's crust, typically through open-pit or underground mining operations. Quarries, on the other hand, are used to extract building materials like stone, sand, and gravel.
Eighty percent of all diamonds mined are used as industrial diamonds, to improve the cutting and precision of industrial tools.
Unformed diamonds refer to diamonds that have not been cut or shaped for use in jewelry or industrial applications. These diamonds are in their natural state as they are found in the earth, before any processing or refining has taken place.
Yes, man-made diamonds have the same chemical composition and structure as natural diamonds, making them equally strong. Both types of diamonds are composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure, which gives them their hardness and strength.
Brown diamonds are the most common colour of diamonds mined, of gem-quality. Only about 20% of all diamonds mined are of gem quality.
Yes, diamonds are mined.
The earth is mined to get diamonds.
You can purchase diamonds in most any city in the world. There is no 'city' where diamonds are mined, however.
Gold and diamonds are both mined in the earth.
Probably not, because 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds. Every civilized country purchases industrial diamonds. Consumers in the United States, however, purchase about 50% of all gem-quality diamonds mined, according to the World Diamond Council.
Industrial diamonds come from diamond mines, in fact about 75% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds.
Diamonds mined in Australia follow the same type of distribution channel as diamonds mined in any country. Mined diamonds are graded, brokered, then bought and sold based on the diamond's quality.
mined (like mined for diamonds)
Yes, diamonds are mined in South Africa.
Yes, most diamonds mined -- about 80% -- are industrial diamonds that are only used in tools. Industrial diamonds improve precision, durability, and use.
No. Although any diamond is rare, brown-coloured diamonds are among the most common gem-quality diamonds mined.
