How Rare Are Diamonds, Really?
By Gregg
We have all been told all our lives how rare diamonds are, but in reality how rare are they? Well, for starters it takes millions of years and intense pressure for a genuine diamond to form. I know there are laboratories that are creating diamonds now, but they cannot duplicate those formed by nature. The diamonds made in laboratories sometimes are too perfect. It is the inherent flaws in diamonds that also lend to their uniqueness as well as their beauty and value.
When you walk into a jewelry store and all the large array of diamonds in all of the various settings that are for sale, it is difficult to comprehend that diamonds are indeed rare. Most people don’t even stop to consider how that diamond came to be sitting in that jeweler’s case! There is actually quite a bit of work that is done before a diamond is ready to sell to the general public!
We seldom think about how the diamonds we wear came to us. Natural diamonds, as opposed to synthetic diamonds or fake diamonds, are mined from the earth. There are currently two methods of mining diamonds: Pipe Mining and Alluvial Mining.
When pipe mining is used, the diamonds are extracted from the earth through volcanic pipes. These are not man-made pipes. These are natural pipes in the ground. Shanks are put into the ground next to the pipes, and tunnels are driven into the deepest parts ofthe pipe.
