Whiteflash-Diamond Playground

Diamond rough is tightly controlled; in the United States via the Clean Diamonds Act & Census Bureau monitoring, and globally by the United Nations’ Kimberley Process & NGOs.  Rough mined anywhere in the world must receive proper certification at the source and follow a process of approval before it can be traded to a legitimate cutting house or purchased on the open market.  Here, friends of Brian “The Cutter” Gavin from Guinea visit Whiteflash with diamond rough & the accompanying documentation and seals demonstrating provenance. 

Normal rough octahedron like the crystal at center right will often be sawed and polished into modern round brilliant or princess cut diamonds.  Other crystals may be better-suited to other shapes.  To read more about rough diamonds, global controls and beneficiation see the Whiteflash Conflict-Free Guarantee.
