Kimberley, South Africa, is home to the world-renowned headquarters of De Beers Diamonds and is home to some of the earliest (1869) discoveries of kimberlite-type diamond native deposits in the world, and some of the largest diamonds in the world are still found there. In the Kimberley Diamond Pit, from 1866 to 1914, 50,000 miners used shovels and other tools to dig up a total of 2,722 kilograms of diamonds. At present, the South African government is trying to apply for the Kimberley mine as a World Cultural Heritage site.
