What is a Digger?

• A. An independent diamond prospector
• B. A skilled gem cutter
• C. A retailer of finished jewelry
• D. A mining engineer specializing in kimberlite

Answer: (A)

A digger is someone who searches for and digs up rough diamonds, acting as an independent prospector who discovers stones in the earth. This role is all about discovery and initial retrieval, not processing or selling. The other professions involve different steps: a gem cutter shapes rough stones into polished gems, a retailer sells finished jewelry, and a mining engineer who specializes in kimberlite designs and oversees mining operations. So the term describes the independent prospector who digs for diamonds.
