Home-Grown Diamonds Up for Sale

Some of the first diamonds to be mined in Ontario will be going up for sale at Birks’ flagship store in downtown Toronto on Monday.
Mining Minister Michael Gravelle says the Ontario-certified gems are extremely high-quality, with a retail value that’s 10 to 15 per cent higher than other diamonds because they are mined and processed in one place, the Northern community of Attawpiskat.
The glittering gems will be available in Toronto until May 1st, when they will travel around Canada to be exhibited in other major cities.
