Yakutia - the birthplace of diamonds

102.jpg

Diamonds since ancient times, recognized as the most elegant and expensive adornments. But the scope of precious stones is not limited to jewellery. Instead, most of the mined stones are sent for production needs.

Diamond ore lies in the earth's crust, the so-called kimberlite pipes. They were formed several million years ago by the eruption of underground volcanoes. Under the influence of enormous pressure and high temperatures, carbon has taken a solid crystalline form, which today is called diamond rock.

The leader in terms of production, no doubt, is Yakutia, the share of the local industry accounts for 82% of all mined diamonds. On the second place in Arkhangelsk oblast of 17.5 %. Less than one percent of diamonds are necessary minerals in the Perm region.
