The discovery of diamond-bearing kimberlites in the 1870s in Kimberley sparked a diamond rush, transforming the area into one of the world’s largest diamond-producing regions. Since then, the association between kimberlites and diamonds has been crucial in the search for new diamond deposits around the globe. [22] [23]
Today, diamonds are located in the diamond-rich density fraction with the help of X-ray fluorescence, after which the final sorting steps are done by hand. Before the use of X-rays became commonplace, [ 111 ] the separation was done with grease belts; diamonds have a stronger tendency to stick to grease than the other minerals in the ore.

Diamond is extremely strong owing to its crystal structure, known as diamond cubic, in which each carbon atom has four neighbors covalently bonded to it. Bulk cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is nearly as hard as diamond. Diamond reacts with some materials, such as steel, and c-BN wears less when cutting or abrading such material. [4]

Type IIa diamonds can have their structural deformations "repaired" via a high-pressure, high-temperature process, removing much or all of the diamond's color. [5] Type IIa diamonds constitute a great percentage of Australian production. Many famous large diamonds, like the Cullinan, Koh-i-Noor, Lesedi La Rona, and The Lulo Rose are Type IIa.
The Golconda diamondiferous region is located in the Southern Indian peninsular shield, [2] which was formed during the process of proterozoic and Insular India. [3] The region is spread over 50,000 km 2 (19,000 sq mi), within the sediments of the Krishna-Pennar river basin and Deccan Traps, [2] and contains 120 out of the 150 kimberlite pipes in India. [4]
