6299 FANCY GRAY-BLUE COLOURED DIAMOND AND DIAMOND RING

DIAMOND FROM ARGYLE MINE

當阿蓋爾粉鑽於西澳大利亞的東亞金伯利（East Kimberley）地區發現時，地質學家們預估該地蘊 藏著 10~20 年的礦藏。力拓鑽石公司董事總經理 Jean Marc Lieberherr 說：“在最初的幾年，粉鑽

被看做一種古怪的東西，沒有市場價值。在過去的 11 年中，價格上漲了 367％，成為 " 今日世界 " 中 增長最快最濃縮的財富。它們來自巴西、印度與俄 羅斯，並只被保存於博物館，甚至不會被切割賣給 大眾消費者。而今日，阿蓋爾粉鑽成為世上為數不 多的獨特寶石之一。力拓（Rio Tinto）旗下子公司 Argyle 表示：去年該礦從露天的開放式礦場轉為地 下礦場，預測可能在 7~10 年內挖掘出粉鑽，然後 粉鑽將逐漸消失。儘管力拓正積極在印度和加拿大 勘探礦藏，但很有可能不會再有粉鑽礦藏被發現。 目前所出產的阿蓋爾粉鑽，四分之三的產量其重量 都不到 0.25 克拉。

When pinks were discovered in the remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia near Lake Argyle, geologists believed there might be 10 or 20 years´ worth. “In the early years,＂ says Jean Marc Lieberherr, managing director of Rio Tinto Diamonds, “pink diamonds were seen as an oddity, a freak of nature, with no established market. They came from Brazil, India and Russia, and existed only in museums. They were not cut for consumers. Today, the Argyle pink diamond is one of the few gemstones in the world identi ed by its very speci c origins.＂And its rarity.

Argyle (a Rio Tinto subsidiary) predicts the mine, which switched from an open pit to an underground block cave operation last year, could yield its treasure for another seven to 10 years. “After that, pink diamonds will virtually disappear,＂ says Lieberherr. And while Rio Tinto is actively prospecting in both India and Canada, it is possible there will be no more pink diamonds found. Three-quarters of Argyle´s pink diamond production weighs less than .25 of a carat.
