==Diamond rushes by chronology==
* In 1871, the discovery of an 83.50 carat (16.7 g) diamond on the slopes of Colesberg Kopje on the farm ''Vooruitzigt'' in South Africa led to the foundation of Kimberley Mine, and eventually the town of Kimberley. This diamond rush was termed the "New Rush".〔Roberts,Brian. 1976. ''Kimberley, turbulent city''. Cape Town: David Philip pp 45-49〕
* In 1908, the discovery of a diamond near Grasplatz station in German South-West Africa led to a diamond rush developing the town of Lüderitz and creating several mining settlements that today are ghost towns.
* In the 1990s, several frequency domain heliborne electromagnetic anomalies were discovered around Lac de Gras, a lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Several mines were established, leading to the Canada diamond rush.
