Description: What makes Argyle diamonds so easy to obsess over is that the whole Argyle story is so compelling. The most alluring aspect of the Argyle story isn’t the sparkle of the stones or even the million dollar auctions; rather, it’s the ancient spiritual story of how the Argyle diamonds came into existence, known as The Barramundi Dreaming. There are a few versions of The Barramundi Dreaming, each with slight differences, but the core of the story remains consistent throughout. The Gija and Miriwoong people, the Traditional Owners of the land on which the Argyle Diamond Mine operates, each have their own variation of The Barramundi Dreaming. The actual location of the Argyle mine is known as Barramundi Gap and is a sacred indigenous women’s site. 196 pages. Hard cover with NO dust jacket (as issued). NOT ex-library.
