Over fourty years ago, diamond bearing
kimberlite pipes were discovered in China. In recent years, some of these
pipes have been mined to produce both gem and industrial rough. Mr. Peters has
been a consulant for this mining project (see above photos) for the past two
years. His expertise was valuable in defining a viable rough grading system
for sorting, grading, and manufacturing. He also supervised the security
procedures for the entire mine. This included setting up state-of-the-art
equipment, hiring and training of security personnell, and supervising the
installation of the system. Mr. Peters continues to be an active consultant on
this project.

The director of the Institute, Mr.
Peters, is personally available to travel as a consultant and evaluator for
rough diamond purchases. His extensive knowledge of rough and cut is ideally
suited in this arena. The Institute will assist in marketing both the rough and
finished diamonds. The American Institute of Diamond Cutting, Inc. has a ready
source of buyers available to purchase both small and large parcels. These are
diamond contacts developed by the Institute over the last 25
years.
The above photos show a manufacturing project
that Mr. Peters has designed, managed, and brought to initial production levels.
The factory at full capacity will contain a 200 man workforce. At the onset, Mr.
Peters has worked with the architects to design the inside of the factory for
optimum performance. He works directly with the diamond equipment companies to
bring state-of -the-art equipment that will compliment each other. He will
personally screen, select, and train the initial core of workers. Mr. Peters
will also assist in developing, the marketing, and sales of both rough and
finished diamonds.
