The Company was established in 2015 under the Companies Act of Zimbabwe (Chapter 24.03) after the Government consolidated all the diamond mining concessions in Chiadzwa.

Diamonds in Zimbabwe primarily come from the Marange diamond fields, located in the eastern part of the country, near the town of Mutare. Discovered in 2006, these alluvial diamond deposits quickly became one of the largest sources of diamonds in the world. However, Zimbabwe has other diamond mining areas, including the, Chimanimani and Murowa diamond mines.

Yes, they are conflict free. Zimbabwe is a member of the KPCS (Kimberley Process Certification Scheme) an international agreement designed to prevent conflict diamonds from trading. ZCDC operates with the laws of Zimbabwe thus ensuring compliance with the KPCS guidelines

Diamonds are processed by first removing them from the earth through mining   operations, crushing, screening, dense media separation and use of X ray technology. After extraction, they undergo, cleaning, sorting, evaluation, cutting, and polishing to enhance their appearance and value

Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions over millions of years. Carbon atoms bond in a crystalline structure, creating diamonds, which are then brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions or transported by geological processes

Licensed diamond cutting factories can buy rough diamonds.

Licenced Jewellery manufacturers can buy cut and polished diamonds.

Any individual can buy polished diamonds.
