Can one tell if two diamonds came from the same mine?
There are some tests that a certified gemologist can conduct that can generally pinpoint the location or source of a diamond. Whether or not the diamonds came from the same 'mine', may be problematic, since many diamonds are harvested using techniques other than mining. For example, if water runs over the volcanic pipe that pushed the diamonds to the earth's surface and diamonds are washed downhill, then harvested as alluvial diamonds, the mined volcanic pipe may be substantially distant from the alluvial diamond find. But the source is the same.
