Where Diamonds Come From
Diamonds are found in alluvial deposits in diamond mines in places such
as Botswana, Namibia, Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Russia and Austrialia.
Diamonds were first discovered in alluvial deposits in southern India
about the 9th century BCE, and for centuries India remained the world's
primary source of diamonds. This changed in the 18th century with the
discovery of large diamond deposits in Brazil in 1725. Over a century
later diamonds were discovered in South Africa, and so began the
leadership of South Africa in the diamond trade.
