It just ended.
Wow.
Absolutely fascinating.
It was a blend of the history, science, geology, art, and the marketing of diamonds.
It took you behind the scenes into some of the exclusive and secretive places where diamonds are mined, cut and polished, and where deals are discretely made over a handshake.
I am sure it would be riveting viewing for all Pricescope members.
One section of the show followed a once-in-a-decade find, a superlative red, from the Argyle mine in Kimberley Western Australia, to Perth, to its setting in a broach surrounded with pinks and whites, to its destination, a lucky Arabian princess.
You can see this broach in the upper left corner of the following link.
When they were in Australia I kept waiting for them to interview Gary Holloway.
Here is a link about the documentary:
www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/diamonds
Contact your local PBS station to see if they have it scheduled.
Or you can order it on DVD or videocassette.
Here is ordering information. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/shop/diamonds.html
Again the name of the series is, Nature.
The name of this episode of Nature is, Diamonds.
