MINING -Introduction by Gabi Schneider: The world's largest diamond placer deposit, consisting almost entirely of gem-quality stones, occurs in Namibia. Consequently, the country has developed into one of the leading diamond-mining countries in the world, and its importance for the gem diamond trade cannot be overemphasised.For the past century, human endeavour and technological innovation have played a leading role in diamond mining in Namibia, and have shaped the country's economy and society like no other sector of the Namibian mining industry. I therefore felt that the 100th anniversary of the first diamond find presented a unique opportunity to compile a comprehensive historical review of developments and events in the Namibian diamond-mining industry, in particular since no such an all-embracing attempt has been made to date. Industrial and building heritage within Namibia's diamond areas is slowly but surely succumbing to the forces of nature, and thus needed to be documented urgently. Much of the intangible heritage has already been lost, as only few people who witnessed the early days are still available to tell of their experiences. Moreover, countless old documents are written in the old German Sütterlin, a script which is a closed book to most. This situation called for a speedy stocktake of what is still available. Quotations from old German texts were translated as accurately as possible. Where appropriate, I left German words, but flagged them in italics. German names that are no longer in use and other non-English words are also italicised. Location names are given in their historical context, e.g. the name Lüderitzbucht is used before 1920, while the town is referred to as Lüderitz after that. I have tried to research peoples' names as accurately as possible; in some instances however, only surnames were available. The compilation of this book would not have been possible without the help of many people. I am indebted to Gunter von Schumann for intensive research in various archives, most notably the National Archives of Namibia and that of the Namibia Scientific Society. Extensive field investigations were carried out by a dedicated team of people, with whom I covered the entire area between Bogenfels and Walvis Bay in a number of challenging field-trips which included high dunes and their slip faces, an almost endless number of flat tyres, shivering nights in the fog belt, scorching days under the Namib sun, being 'marooned' on Black Rock and rescuing six vehicles from the beach near St Francis Bay by somehow getting then up the slip face of a coastal dune when nobody believed that this would be possible.PrefaceForewordPART I: IntroductionChapter 1: The sparkle in the south-western corner of AfricaChapter 2: A diamond is foreverChapter 3: A world of diamond.Chapter 4: There's more to a diamond than meets the eyeChapter 5: From the crucibles of creation: The origin of diamondsChapter 6: Namibia's Diamond CoastPART II: The PreludeCapter 7: In search of diamonds before 1908PART III: 1908 to 1920Chapter 8: Eureka!
