COGNAC DIAMONDS: BEAUTIFULLY AUSTRALIAN

Naturally coloured diamonds are a marvel of nature, sometimes showcasing bright shades of pinks and blues, and others reflecting the natural beauty of the land they were pulled from.

Argyle Australian Diamonds were earthed from the Argyle Diamond Mine during its production years of 1983 – 2020. Located in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, the mine owned by Rio Tinto proved to be a spectacular display of how a uniquely diverse landscape can produce diamonds in the same vein.

Murray Rayner, a geologist who worked in the Rio Tinto Diamonds team for 20 years, illuminates the rarity of coloured diamonds:

“It’s hard enough to find a diamond deposit – but to get a treasure trove of pink, red, blue, violet, champagne and cognac diamonds, that’s really something else[.]”

Murray Rayner, principal geogolist at rio tinto
