Fun! But not terribly significant. These kind of mines have been identified elsewhere, in quantity. Diamonds are no longer scarce.

I have been several times and always enjoy the time spent there. I have never found a diamond but saw a woman cleaning her shoes find one. "Oh, what's this stuck to my shoe." So maybe it is not so hard finding diamonds, just not likely.
