Canadian Origin Diamonds
Home > Canadian Origin Diamonds
 

A tremendously new and exciting source of fine gem quality North American diamonds was first discovered in 1991 in the far reaches of Canada’s Arctic North. Pioneering geologists Charles “Chuck” Fipke and Stewart Blusson are credited as the first to discover this vast resource. They were followed by other geologists including Eira Thomas, the first woman to own and wear diamonds from her own discovery!

By the fall of 1998, the first mine, the Ekati, (an aboriginal name meaning “fat lake”) officially opened thus prompting a “Diamond Rush” of historic proportions. In ten short years the Northwest Territories of Canada has become the 3rd largest producer of fine diamonds in the world! This is truly remarkable as dealing with unique harsh weather conditions hinders progress, and protecting the remote and fragile Arctic environment is a time consuming and high priority endeavor.
