Matthew Hart embarks on a journey into the largely hidden and fascinating world that is the diamond trade. The geology of diamonds explains how hard it is to find them. They are accidents of nature, carbon crystals compressed underground for eons. Weaving science and history, Hart follows the diamond trail from the basement where Gabi Tolkowsky, the world's greatest cutter, faced the 599-carat Centenary diamond, to Africa's Diamond Coast, to the sales rooms of De Beers.

A Fascinating Read!
Revisado: 09-23-13
Would you consider the audio edition of Diamond to be better than the print version?
I do not know since I didn't read the print version.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Diamond?
Learning how kimberlite is used to detect where diamonds may be.
Which scene was your favorite?
I love the part where they pull up a core sample with a 2+ carat diamond in it and the lead geologist sleeps with the core sample under her pillow the night before she flies home to show it to her father! A true reward for their hard work.
Any additional comments?
A fascinating way to see the journey of diamonds in the world.
