Is the diamond mine still active or purely a tourist attraction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, several registered diamond dealers and jewellers in town sell certified stones and finished jewellery. All legitimate sellers will provide certificates of authenticity; buyers should insist on documentation for any significant purchase.
