diamond..a woman best friend


there you go..a massive diamond digged out from Lesotho, Africa.

the diamond weight 478 carats and is the 20th largest uncut diamond ever found...and could potentially be the largest ever polished round diamond..


well..this is one diamond that out of anyone reach..(poor people like us..hehehe)

the company responsible for the dig site said, the diamond are worth up to tens of millions of dollars..

now the record for the largest uncut diamond is down here..

this is the Cullinan Diamond..weight over 3000 karats..3106 karats to be exact..how does this being a big number?let see..an engagement ring is usually a 1 or 2 karats,anything above 3 is pretty impressive..this diamond is over 3000 karats!pretty pretty pretty impressive!

the diamond was found in 1905, and was cut into several pieces, below is the picture..
all these diamonds came from one single unpolished diamond..can u imagine how big it was?
