Comment

Formed under intense pressure and heat within hte Earth, diamonds are found near the surface in volcanic 'pipes'. The value of each diamond is determined by its carats (weight), cut, clarity and colour, incredibly a quarter of the world's diamonds come from a single mine in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. Responsible for brilliant white diamonds and fancy coloured champagne and cognac varieties, it is also the world's main source of the incredibly rare pink diamonds. The most desirable of all gemstones, diamonds are a traditional symbol of love, and the modern birthstone of people born in April.
