The production of diamonds is not fixed as mines are exhausted quickly and the size of production of new ones is unknown. It has been estimated that primary mines produce one carat (0.2 grams) of diamonds for every 3.5-4 tons of rock extracted, while alluvial deposits produce even every 15 tons.
Due to their chemical and physical characteristics, diamonds are used in jewellery and in the industry where both damaged diamonds and those not suitable for jewelery are exploited as well as synthetic diamonds, created with particular technological processes.
