Top Five Diamond Production Countries in the World

VIVA – Diamond is a rare naturally occurring mineral consisting of pure carbon elements because of the extremely rigid arrangement of carbon atoms in the crystal structure. Diamond has the maximum hardness and thermal productivity of any natural material.

Diamond is one of the most precious, beautiful, and rare creations. Also, diamond is the most popular gemstones. Diamonds are also in great demand as gemstones and as a luxury commodity.

Initially, diamond reserves were found only in Africa and given to the rest of the world, but today, diamond exploration and production have also started on other continents.

Currently, Russia produces 30% of the world's diamonds, and about 39.12 million carats of diamonds are produced in Russia by 2021, making it the world's largest diamond-mining country. Here are some diamond-producing countries in the world.

The first diamond mine in the Northwest Territories, known as Ekati, opened in 1998 because of this discovery. The Canadian Arctic Diamond Company currently oversees the operations of Ekati, which is a responsible environmental steward and an important source of high-quality jobs and money for the area.
