Argyle Diamond Mine

The Argyle Diamond Mine, located in Western Australia, was one of the world's largest producers of diamonds, especially famous for its rare pink diamonds. Operational from 1983 until its closure in 2020, the mine contributed significantly to the global diamond market. Its unique geological conditions led to the formation of high-quality gems, making Argyle diamonds highly sought after. The mine's environmental impact and indigenous land rights issues were also notable aspects of its history. Today, the closure has prompted interest in the remaining diamonds and the legacy of its contributions to the jewelry industry.
