In the Arabic "Book of the Wonders of India" written about 960 AD, the legend is retold by a traveler and the setting is now Kashmir; here, a further peril comes from a fire burning in the valley floor, surrounded by serpents and ablaze day and night, summer and winter alike. Men come as before and fling the carcasses of sheep from the cliff, and eagles swoop down to carry up the diamond-studded meat . . . but the carcasses may be devoured by the fire, or the eagles by the voracious serpents, and then the diamond-miners must go away empty-handed, cursing, cheated of their spoil. iras.ucalgary.ca DIAMOND PROCESSING AND SORTING After diamond ore is mined it is transported to a processing plant where it is first fed into huge crushing machines. In the old days diamonds were recovered on vibrating greased tables. After the diamond ore was crushed it was mixed with water and slid down the table. Because of their surface properties, rough diamonds adhere tenaciously to the grease while other materials vibrate on through. factsanddetails.com]http://factsanddetails.com/world.php?itemid=1234
