Diamonds from South Africa | Kimberley Diamond Mine | Full process from scratch to end and its types

The Kimberley Diamond Mine, also known as the Big Hole, is located in Kimberley, South Africa. It's one of the world's largest hand-dug excavation sites, and it played a significant role in the history of diamond mining.
The mine was dug by hand between 1871 and 1914, during the diamond rush that followed the discovery of diamonds in the area. It reached a depth of 240 meters (790 feet) and yielded over 14.5 million carats of diamonds, making it one of the deepest hand-excavated holes in the world.
Today, the Big Hole is a tourist attraction and a museum complex, offering visitors insights into the history of diamond mining in South Africa and the impact it had on the region. It provides a glimpse into the harsh conditions endured by the miners during the diamond rush era.
