Diamonds were discovered in Venezuela in 1902 and it was in 1930 when their exploitation began.

In 1942, Venezuelan Jaime Hudson discovered the largest diamond found so far in the country, known as "El Libertador" or "Bolívar", 154 qt, at the site called Surukún, Bolívar state, and was cut by Harry Winston, in three stones of 40, 18 and 12 qt (THEMELIS, 1997).
