The Baba Diamond Fields is an area of widespread small-scale diamond mines located at the south-western district of Tsholotsho, Matabeleland North province in Zimbabwe, near the border neighbouring Botswana. It lies about 98 km north-west of the city of Bulawayo and has Kalahari sand soils and rock formations which also can be found at the diamond-rich areas of neighbour Botswana.[1] Currently Baba Diamond Fields is owned by Infinity Baba Diamond Group[2][3] since 2015 and estimated annual diamond production at the mines to be 1 million carats of rough diamonds.[4]
