The rough diamond is on its way back from a depressing global recession and reports an increase in US demand of their inventory, according to Petra Diamonds, a rough diamonds supplier.

The demand for rough diamonds is rising at a fast pace, up significantly from the 2008-2009 season. Because of the significant increase in demand, prices are going up, too.
