Rare Pink Diamonds

Located in the far northeast corner of western Australia is the Argyle Diamond Mine. Considered the largest diamond producing mine in the world, the site has produced over 600 million carats of diamonds since the mines opening in 1985.

While Argyle may hold claim to being the largest producer of diamonds, it is not the leader by value of diamonds. Only 5% of the diamonds produced at Argyle are considered gem quality. However, this diamond mine in Australia is by far and away the world leader in producing Pink Diamonds, supplying 90-95% of Pink Diamonds for the world.

Pink Diamonds are nature's art. They are diamonds in rare form, and are such a thing of beauty people claim to be put under the "pink diamond spell". There is much mystery around pink diamonds. These elusive stones are so rare that only a handful of people will ever see one up close. Even the Argyle mineworkers, who would appear to have a chance to see a pink diamond, do not even see the fruits of their labor.

Argyle miners dig through up the earth 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and sort through 60 million tones of earth a year, only to get about 10 million tones of ore. Ore is where the diamonds are found. Of those 10 million tones of ore, Argyle will on average find 5 million tones of diamonds. Of that only 5% are considered gem qualities, and of that, less than 1% will be pink diamonds.
