520    This is the story of the intrepid Australian geologists 
       who discovered pink diamonds in the Kimberley. This is a 
       valuable insight into an industry once widely praised but 
       now undervalued by a nation that relies on it so strongly.
       The remote Kimberley region of Western Australia has a 
       rich history and unique geography. In the 1960s De Beers, 
       the world's largest diamond company, sent gem-hunters to 
       the area but they came away empty-handed. It was a vast 
       region to survey, and they'd overlooked something vital. A
       few years later, a team of Australian geologists with a 
       tiny budget searched for even tinier mineral clues. Those 
       clues led them to the earth's largest diamond deposit and 
       the world's richest source of rare pink diamonds. Based on
       in-depth research and interviews - including with Alan 
       King Jones, Bill Leslie and 'the father of Australian 
       diamonds', Ewen Tyle, this book details the almost 
       overwhelming challenges with realising a diamond mining 
       venture in Australia, shows how these obstacles were 
       overcome, and explores the mine's impact and legacy.
