Australia is home to one of the most successful mines worldwide – the Argyle mine. Opened in 1979, it provides roughly a third of the world’s entire natural diamonds. Although about 40% of the mined diamonds were brown diamond, through marketing they were recoined cognac diamonds and thus were more coveted. Furthermore, over 80 % of the pink diamonds around the world are found in the Argyle Mine. Out of the 20 million carats of pink diamonds sourced from the mine only 0.1% of the diamonds are in fact classified as pink diamonds – with quality inspections for each.
