GLASOL’s main target has always been the marketing of unpolished diamonds. Nevertheless, we are also successfully active in the polishing, buying and selling of polished diamonds. vOur sources of rough diamonds have been various and substantial during the last decades. Starting as being one of the CSO’s main sight holders. Then, in 1981 the Republic of Zaire selected GLASOL as one of three companies to market their entire and various diamond productions. GLASOL was being an alternative to the CSO for the marketing of the Congolese production. This represented the marketing of 7 million carats a year from the industrial mining production – MIBA.
