The largest diamond found in more than a century has been unearthed at a mine in Botswana, and the country’s president showed off the fist-sized stone to the world at a viewing ceremony Thursday.
The Botswana government says the huge 2,492-carat diamond is the second-biggest ever discovered in a mine. It’s the biggest diamond found since 1905.
That is a cartoonishly large diamond. Cut it into that stereotypical cartoon diamond shape!
It belongs in a museum!
Some billionaire is probably gonna turn it into a door handle, unfortunately
Still better than cutting it into a large set of boring-ass baubles IMO.
