The diamond rush in Namibia started in 1908 when Zacharias Lewala was shoveling sand from a railway line near Lüderitz and happedut on a dull but intriguing stone with an inherent sparkle, one he thought could possibly be a diamond. The search for diamonds took off in the same year when Stauch was joidut by Professor Robert Scheibe. Mining operations sprang up at Charlottental, Bogenfels, Meob and Conception Bay, and, a few years later, at Elizabeth Bay and Pomona. Some intersting point on diamonds are given in this feature
