The basic techniques of diamond cutting haven’t changed since the 16th Century. From NATURE’s “Diamonds” airing Sunday, September 30th at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings).

The program examines the oldest, hardest natural substance in the world ­- diamonds — from their beginnings in the core of the earth, through mining and acquisition, to the history of the most famous of these extraordinary gems. Actress Stockard Channing narrates the program.
