Attackers torched a vehicle, less than a month after 11 people died when parts of a mine pit collapsed.

Not since at least the early 2000s, when De Beers gave up its global monopoly on diamonds, has the company earned so little money.

The first stream bulk samples excavated had resulted in the recovery of 45 diamonds weighing 30.3 ct.

Diamond mining is the largest taxpayer in Namibia and generates 20% of the country's export earnings.

Despite the growth in the availability, it is estimated that still only 1 in 5 diamond retailers in the U.S. carry man-made diamonds.

As part of a traceability initiative, a short film is automatically generated on ALROSA’s digital platform based on information about each diamond available.
