[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 471853, member: 3008"] I've showed this before but it's a national geographic article about diamonds. One section covered cutting small diamonds. These were cut in cutting houses in India with two operators at each machine. The author set out to buy a caret of this diamond melee, he got approx hundred hand cut diamonds for $90 (US?) If you come across the mag. Great read and worth buying - early 2000's IIRC. No need to bother buying multi million dollar machines for diamonds at least. But I do know what you are referring to LW.
