Production of precious stones in the United States in 1906, 1907, and 1908.
The importation of precious stones into the United States in 1908, as reported by the Bureau of Statistics, showed a large decrease from that of 1907. The value of the imports was over 57 per cent less than in 1907 and about 69 per cent less than in 1906, in which year the imports were the greatest ever recorded. The imports of uncut dia­monds showed the greatest decline, proportional to the value of im­ports, and unset cut diamonds fell to less than half that of 1907. The imports of diamonds for industrial purposes again showed an increase. The increase was in glazier's diamonds, while dust or bort showed a small decline.
