sRAzIL.s BACK DIAMONDS.
More sens to south Africa IMAM AM
Other Place.

Although the greatest diamond mines
in the world are i'm South Africa. Brazi
exports more diamonds to that part
than. anywhere else on earth. says a
Lonion paper. The explanation is easy.
They are black diamonds. and not OF
the kind used for iewelry. The place OF
their greatest utility is underground
in mines. South Africa does not pro-
duce them, but il could not well get
along without them.
Black diamond is the hardest sub
stance known. It's utility has only been
realized for about 60 years. and i'm
provements are constantly being made
in it. The rough stones are taken and
split by machinery in way that was
unknown until recently. The splir
must follow the grain. If il does not
the stone will be wasted Each stonr
is split into cubes of different sizes
The cubes are then welded INTO mining
drills if they are TO be used for boring
The steel is cast about the diamond SO
that il cannot get loose. In the same
way nearly all diamond saws are made
Every tooth is a black-damond cube
1t is fastened on when the. steel por-
ton of the instrument is in a molten
state.
The attempt 20 make these stones
artificially has proven failure in every
instance. The cost is greater than the
market price of the brazilian dia
mond.
Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less
than 100 carats, ranging all the way
down to half carat. The largest in
existence was found only a short time
ago, its weight being 800 carats. The
diamond was sold to museum for
