The certification process is very important when determining actual value (and insuring). However, it's not an issue until it hits the consumers hands. Grading is what will be crucial on CMKM's end. They may hit a pocket of 1,000 cts. of rock, but only 10-15 cts. of useable stone, due to carbon deposits, fracture lines and dimensions. It is possible to find a diamond deposit that has much more useable material, but a true "find" will not involve a few 2-5 ct. stones, but thousands of cts. to make CMKM an actual player in the diamond market.
