Until 1896 India was the only source of Diamonds ?

India was the world's only known source of diamonds for approximately 2,000 years, from ancient times until diamonds were discovered in Brazil in the 1720s. The famous Golconda region in India produced legendary diamonds like the Kohinoor, Hope, and Orloff diamonds. By 1896, diamond mining had expanded to South Africa and other locations, ending India's ancient monopoly on diamond production.
