There are a limited number of commercially viable diamond mines currently operating in the world, with the 50 largest mines accounting for approximately 90% of global supply. Diamonds are also mined alluvially over disperse areas, where diamonds have been eroded out of the ground, deposited, and concentrated by water or weather action. There is also at least one example of a heritage diamond mine (Crater of Diamonds State Park).
Diamond mine may refer to:
In mineralogy, diamond (/ˈdaɪəmənd/ or /ˈdaɪmənd/; from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is a metastable allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible at standard conditions. Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular, diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Those properties determine the major industrial application of diamond in cutting and polishing tools and the scientific applications in diamond knives and diamond anvil cells.
Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen. Small amounts of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors).
Black Diamond may refer to:

Sierra Leone (i/sɪˈɛərə lɪˈoʊni, -lɪˈoʊn/), officially the Republic of Sierra Leone, is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Guinea on the north, Liberia in the south-east, and the Atlantic Ocean in the south-west. Sierra Leone has a tropical climate, with a diverse environment ranging from savannah to rainforests. Sierra Leone has a total area of 71,740 km2 (27,699 sq mi) and an estimated population of 6 million (2011 United Nations estimate).Freetown is the capital, largest city, and its economic and political centre. Bo is the second largest city. The other major cities in the country with a population above 100,000 are Kenema, Makeni and Koidu Town. Sierra Leone is divided into four geographical regions: the Northern Province, Eastern Province, Southern Province and the Western Area, which are further divided into fourteen districts.
About sixteen ethnic groups inhabit Sierra Leone, each with their own language and customs. The two largest and most influential are the Temne and the Mende people. The Temne are predominantly found in the north of the country, while the Mende are predominant in the south-east. Although English is the official language spoken at schools and government administration, the Krio language is the most widely spoken language in the country and unites all the different ethnic groups in the country, especially in their trade and social interaction with each other.

The Black Diamond Mine - one of the oldest mines in the region - is so old that its early history has been mostly lost to time. However, it is believed that the site was originally discovered by a group of Chilean miners. It has a fairly unique structure in that it is a vertical shaft plunging down into the Black Diamond Ridge and four separate and distinct tunnels intersect with the shaft at varying levels down the face of the ridge.

Lyrics: It's about time that I find a diamond It's about time that I mine a diamond. It's about time that I find a diamond Hope the diamond doesn't mind when I mine it. (when I find the) Diamond, diamond, I'll mine a diamond (when I find the) Diamond, diamond, if I could find one. (when I find the) Diamond, diamond, I'll mine a diamond Hope the diamond doesn't mind when I mine it. What would you do with the diamonds? Put em on a stick. Why would you do that to diamonds? To make a diamond pic. How do you fuse all the diamonds? I put em on a table in a certain pattern depending on the item that I want to make A table. With a click diamond items get made. With a table. A diamond pick axe in this case. A table can't do that. How can a table do that? Cause it's a table of crafting. It's how ...
A diamond rush is a period of feverish migration of workers to an area that has had a discovery of diamonds. Major diamond rushes took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in South Africa and South-West Africa. Kimberley is the capital of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. It is located approximately 110 km east of the confluence of the Vaal and Orange Rivers. The city has considerable historical significance due to its diamond mining past and the siege during the Second Boer War. Notable personalities such as Cecil Rhodes and Barney Barnatomade their fortunes here, and the roots of the De Beers company can also be traced to the early days of the mining town. In 1866, Erasmus Jacobs found a small brilliant pebble on the banks of the Orange River, on the farm De Kalk lea...

The story of the construction of the Diavik Diamond Mine, in Lac de Gras
Hey, is this what I deserve?
The killing me is over
And I guess I got it right well maybe that's because
I tried so many times
And so I say I didn't mean I
It doesn't matter now
And even though I didn't really like
The way you showed me how
C'mon now, you know they'll walk you through it
It never seems to satisfy at all
You come around but you know they'd see right through it
You're too busy reeling from the fall
Unsympathetic eyes watch you every time you dive
They're laughing while they say you'll never learn
And seems so well disguised but the failure still arrives
They're thinking that you'll never see this turn
This pathetic guy feels it every time he dives
He's laughing because he knows he'll never learn
And he seems so well disguised but the failure still arrives
