Rio Tinto’s Argyle Diamond Mine in the spectacularly rugged and remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia is the world’s largest supplier of champagne diamonds. Here, geologists discovered veins of diamond-bearing ore in the Kimberley Plateau, a landscape of stark, stunning elemental beauty – the birthplace of champagne diamonds.
Champagne diamonds are formed deep in the earth and nurtured over billions of years under tremendous heat and pressure. The beautiful range of shades emerge through the presence of trace elements and distortions in the diamond crystal. These elements react with radiation and pressure to bring out remarkable colors in the stone, as though these extraordinary gems have trapped the fires of molten rock within their crystals.
Natural color diamonds are extremely rare: the physical conditions that color a diamond occur very scarcely, so much so that only one in 10,000 diamonds is a natural color diamond. A champagne diamond is to be treasured!
