There is a brief entry in Wikipedia under "Hungarians in Australia" The Australian Women's Daily 17 March 1954 has a wealth of information about the stones and it is clear that the diamonds were purchased from the great international diamond centers. While Australia had some alluvial diamonds, the volcanic pipe diamonds of the Argyle mine were not found until the late 1960s I believe with the mine opening in the early 1980s.
