Abstract
IN this book, the first section, which is an enlarged and rewritten version of an earlier work by Dr. Stutzer, gives an interesting account of the diamond fields of the world, plentifully illustrated with maps, diagrams and photographs. Statistical tables are given, and these emphasise the enormous extent of the diamond industry, accounting for more than 90 per cent of the world's trade in precious stones. In 1929, the total production reached nearly eight million carats, more than half of which came from pipes and gravels in the Union of South Africa.
