taken from here

 

if you look in the middle of the water, and zoom in, that is the amount of diamonds removed from that amount of ore. Simply mind boggling when you think of the economics and what it lead to.

 

the link shows CGI images of ore removed vs size of mineral taken out

 

EDITED: used the wrong link

 

 

Spent some time on the Diamond mine in Lesotho, was taken into the pit first, just after blasting took place and then into final collection where the actual stones drop into the boxes. The amount of reduction that takes place to collect the little stones are mind boggling.

 

To me, makes no sense, as other than industrial diamonds, I see no use for the shiny stones whatsoever. Thinking about it, diamonds arent as scarse as they are made out to be... i mean, almoast all females in the developed world has at least one.
