Diamonds typically are found embedded in carrot-shaped pipes of volcanic rock called kimberlite, and harvesting the gems means separating them from this rock. Because the ratio of diamonds to kimberlite can be very low, harvesting usually is done on a large scale, and heavy machinery is necessary in the early part of the process.
2021-8-24 Extraction of Rough Diamonds from the Ores. In the case of Diamond extraction from the mother rock, the process is more complicated. The entire process however utilises the properties of diamonds to separate them. Following are the basic processes by which diamonds are recovered from the ore. Crushing: Done to reduce the size of the rocks in
2016-4-15 How to Separate Diamonds from Sands? How to Separate Diamonds from Sands? Diamond is a natural mineral, the original stone of precious diamond. As a kind of ore, diamond exists in ore or placer, need separation method to separate it from placer or ore. which can abandon large amout waste rock and sand for preparation fo fine separation.
2016-3-30 Diamond recovery requires a sophisticated system that has evolved greatly over the years and which benefits from today’s advanced technology. The grade of a diamond mine is often one of the most critical factors in determining the economic viability of a project. Many diamond mines have less than 1 carat of diamonds per metric ton of rock.
2018-4-30 Diamonds in unweathered kimberlite, termed blue ground, must be extracted by crushing the rock and separating the diamonds. Diamonds in weathered kimberlite, called yellow ground, may be separated by panning or sluice box methods similar to gold mining. Kimberlite erodes relatively quickly from blue ground to yellow ground.
1992-4-3 Diamond occurs in ultrahigh pressure metamorphic rocks from Dabie Shan, Anhui Province, eastern China. Diamond-bearing rocks include eclogite, gamet-pyroxenite, and jadeitite. Diamond occurs in a mineral assemblage with coesite and jadeite. The diamonds and diamondiferous rocks of Dabie Shan are interpreted to be the products of ultrahigh pressure metamorphism in the undérthrust basement of
2015-5-27 The diamonds are mostly tiny, around 40 micrometres across, although one is almost 100 micrometres. However, some of them appear to have been broken, and the separate crystals are all
2021-8-17 The entire palette of diamond recovery, with effective sorting technology. Recover even the purest diamonds from a size of 3 mm with x-ray transmission: our NIR technology can analyse the complete material stream and reliably separates kimberlite from waste rock.
2020-8-17 Many people believe that diamonds are formed from the metamorphism of coal. That idea continues to be the "how diamonds form" story in many science classrooms. Coal has rarely if ever played a role in the formation of diamonds. In fact, most diamonds that have been dated are much older than Earth's first land plants the source material of
2021-8-15 Diamond-bearing rock is carried from the mantle to the Earth's surface by deep-origin volcanic eruptions. The magma for such a volcano must originate at a depth where diamonds can be formed—150 km (93 mi) or more (three times or more the depth of source magma for most volcanoes). This is a relatively rare occurrence.
2006-3-13 A lot of times the local guy will refuse to set a diamond purchased elsewhere and I know for a fact that BN will not set their diamonds into a ring you purchased elsewhere. That having been said, you might want to contact some of the diamond resellers you are considering and ask if they either a) have (or can get!) the ring you want or can have
2021-8-16 Alluvial diamonds were discovered in 1859 in South Africa and in 1869 mining of the hard rock sources of diamonds started at Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The biggest and most precious diamond ever found was discovered in 1905 by Frederick Wells, Manager of the Premier Diamond

Next, a gravity-based device is used to sort the diamond-containing portions—called the concentrate—from the tailings, or the filler rock. One of the most commonly used methods to separate the two is a type of washing pan developed in South Africa in the 1870s.
Diamonds are recovered from ore in 5 stages: Stage 1 Crushing. Once the diamond bearing ore and gravel is collected, it is transported to a primary crusher. The primary crusher is responsible for reducing the size of the ore into smaller, more manageable pieces or chucks measuring no larger than 150mm.

Diamond Crystal: A gem-quality diamond crystal in the rock in which it was formed. It is an octahedral crystal with triangular dissolution features on its surface and an estimated weight of about 1.5 carats. From the Udachnaya Mine, Yakutia, Siberia, Russia.

If your family diamond is an old-style cut like an old European cut or old mine cut be cautious about setting it with modern round brilliant side stones unless they are very small. When you compare an older cut vintage diamond to a diamond with a modern cut, it is easy to see the difference. Matching an older cut diamond is often very difficult.
2021-8-11 The rock needed to be powdered so we could get to all the gold inside it. This was a time-consuming job because we needed a very fine powder — much finer than even sand. (We wore out several
2006-3-13 Hi everyone. This forum has been a great help to me over the past month or two. I am planning on proposing in the next month or so, and am very close to purchasing my diamond from one of the recommended on-line sites (BlueNile, Union Diamond, Mondera).
To make mining efficient and effective, the raw rock and soil are typically not examined on-site. Instead, they are transported to special plants where the ore is processed and the rough diamonds are extracted. Depending on how rich the ore is, a few hundred tons of ore might be sieved just to produce a single carat of gem quality rough diamonds.
2020-9-14 Superdeep diamonds, such as the Hope Diamond, are formed in an ancient reservoir of carbon in the lower mantle that is separate from the carbon cycle that operates at Earth’s surface.
Next, a gravity-based device is used to sort the diamond-containing portions—called the concentrate—from the tailings, or the filler rock. One of the most commonly used methods to separate the two is a type of washing pan developed in South Africa in the 1870s.
2014-1-2 When shopping for the perfect engagement ring or anniversary ring, you will ask yourself whether it pays to buy the loose diamond separate from the ring setting, or to buy the diamond engagement ring as a complete (pre-fabricated) set. Some may argue that it is too much of a "hassle" to buy the loose diamond and ring setting separately.
