Kim, Reggie and I took a tour around the De Beers Diamond Trading Company center in Botswana to see firsthand how finding and sorting through rough diamonds is done.
DTC Botswana is the largest diamond sorting facility in the world. De Beers only sells diamonds from its own mines so it guarantees that its diamonds are 100% conflict free. They account for 40% of the world's supply of rough diamonds and they have provided hundreds of new jobs in Botswana. Their work has had a dramatic effect on the economy there!
It was so cool going behind the scenes of diamond sorting -- the process was AMAZING!!!
