    This is a seven minute video that I found from MSNBC. It deals with the journey diamonds take from the mine to the store. My students were surprised at how much goes into producing a diamond.

    I used this site with my students in our study of diamonds and their origins. It's great interactive site that allows students to not only see the countries discussed on a map but also take a look at information on that particular country.
