摘 要：Diamond is a scarce, naturally-occurring mineral that is made up of carbon. Each carbon atom in a diamond is attached to four other carbon atoms and these carbon atoms are connected to four other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. This structure is uniform and tightly held; this arrangement forms one of the most durable minerals known to mankind. Diamonds are one of Africa’s major natural resources. In 2014, $13.5 billion worth of rough diamonds were produced, of which $7.83 billion worth of rough diamonds were from the African continent.
