Blood diamond

A blood diamond is a diamond mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency, invading army's war efforts, or a warlord's activity. These terms are particularly used in the context of diamond trading to indicate the negative effects for this sale. These diamonds are mined particularly in Africa and Russia where around two-thirds of the world's diamonds are extracted. The phenomenon of conflict minerals has the same nature.
