The industry is undergoing a new era and although this stone is forever, it is also universal. Thousands of years before the globalisation existed already a very particular world. It had invented the concept of global village, beyond the empires and borders, beyond the cultures and traditions, beyond the beliefs and faiths. However, although the exchanges and the trade remain international, the world of has to face unexpected changes after 100 years of stability. What is its history? What did it occur? This tour, from South Africa to Siberia, will try to bring the first answers to these questions.

209-01: The Centenary was found on July 17th, 1986 by the electric X-ray recovery system at the Premier Mine. Only a handful of people knew about it and all were sworn to silence. The diamond of 599 carats is perfect in colour, it is one of the largest top-colour diamonds ever found. 209-11: Ultramodern Mine of Venetia in the extreme north of Transvaal in South Africa belongs to Beers. The mine of Venetia counts little personnel. The plan is run from a control room. 209-13: Discharge of waste water used to wash the kimberlite stones in the Venetia diamond mine. 209-63: A large part of the stones listed, sorted and sold by the DTC (Diamond Trading Company) to its 80 international brokers were marketed in the four Antwerp Diamond Bourse which are huge halls with enormous windows facing north.
