If we talk about the world’s largest diamond, the 3016 carat Cullinan diamond was discovered in South Africa in 1905.
“We are thrilled to have recovered this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond,” Lucara President William Lamb said in a statement. Photos released by the company show the diamond is about the size of the palm of a hand.
Meanwhile, Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi was shown this huge diamond on Thursday. His government said that it is the second largest diamond in the world.
They are happy that this discovery has been made in their country. Let us tell you that Botswana is one of the largest diamond producers in the world and this is the main source of income of this country.
It contributes 30 percent of its GDP and 80 percent of its exports.
