A rough diamond the size of a tennis ball has sold for £40 million ($53 million). The 1,109-carat stone, which is the world’s largest uncut diamond, was brought by high-profile British diamond dealer Graff Diamonds for $47,777 per carat and will now be cut and polished. VANCOUVER (Reuters) - A tennis ball-sized rough diamond unearthed nearly two years ago by Canada’s Lucara Diamond Corp has been sold for $53 million, the Vancouver-based company said on Monday. https://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCAKCN1C032G-OCATP 10 Likes 3 Shares

The huge stone was discovered by Vancouver-based company Lucara Diamond Corp in Botswana late 2015. The diamond is named Lesedi La Rona which means ‘our light’ in Botswana’s Tswana language and first formed 2.5 to three billion years ago. Laurence Graff, founder of Graff Diamonds said: ‘The stone will tell us its story, it will dictate how it wants to be cut.’ It could be cut into smaller gems for jewellery or left whole in a private collection. 12 Likes 4 Shares

Explorers:Imagine,it was discovered in Botswana and they just took it like that...... the money they would get after selling it they would not even invest it in the country or even settle the locals,am sure the country has some debt to pay......they would Just carry the thing sell it off and pocket the money or share it among themselves Explores,see am waiting for when you would create a topic and tell us how the money was spent 84 Likes 7 Shares |
