The 1,098-carat stone is believed to be the third largest 'gem-quality' diamond ever found, the country's government said.

. This month's find is the largest gem unearthed by the company since diamonds were first discovered in Botswana in 1967, the government said.

At present, the largest diamond ever recorded is the 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond, found in South Africa in 1905. The Cullinan was subsequently cut into smaller stones, some of which form part of British royal family's crown jewels. The second largest discovery is believed to be the Lesedi La Rona, a 1,109-carat stone found by Canadian firm Lucara Diamond at the Karowe mine, also in Botswana, in 2015. The diamond was sold to luxury jeweler Graff

Was proven to be a fake I thought

Yes, there are many wondrous and beautiful manifestations of the world around us. It’s quite remarkable. Almost as remarkable as the human need to value it, possess it, and monetize it thereby diminishing the wonder of it all.

Western colonialists are now zooming😵‍💫

A naturally blessed continent, without a single visionary leader, and the west are very comfortable with this setting.

Oh that’s where I left it!! 🤦‍♀️

Does it belong to the queen also? I mean where is the rest, the early discoveries in Africa? What's there to show for in Africa?

Give me that!!

How long before the US or UK steal it from them under the pretense it was theirs first or some other BS.

Hopefully they sell it and get enough vaccine to save their country.

The Queen owns the world’s biggest diamond and it’s worth millions, Seven other major diamonds, weighing a total of 208.29 carats (41.66 g), are privately owned by Elizabeth II, who inherited them from her grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1953. Thief

Magnificent.

I really don't get the fascination over diamonds. They ain't that pretty. Now, sapphire, that's a gem

No doubt found by near slave labor, only to be taken by wealthy who will make huge bank on it.

They chose their stomachs over future generation 💔

Oh that's where I dropped it

Damn, THAT’S where I left it….

I'm sure the entire proceeds will go to the countries most impoverished 😬

Matthew 13:44 (KJV) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Job 28:12, 16 (KJV) But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

It should stay in Botswana! The Europeans have more than enough exploited the natural resources outside Europe! Not to mention slavery! ApartheidIsrael BoycottIsraeliProducts

Some poor farmer probably got a goat and an extra bag of rice for finding it. Some fat, rich over indulged profiteer will make millions from it.

The queen of Britain will have that stone on the tip of her crown sooner or later.

There is no diamond in the earth, there are billions of diamond planets every time it falls into the earth like a meteorite in a different way and it can disappear into the earth’s interior

Wow that's so beautiful

🤫🤫don’t tell anyone

The land of De Beers.

Can you imagine how many diamonds we kick out of the way not knowing.

WKankhuni I no longer trust these findings especial when the much acclaimed thembisa10 decuplets turned to a lie

Watch white people try their hardest to claim it as theirs.

Yet, our corrupt leaders will waste our recourses.

The glory of White greed and African slave labor. childlabourday slavery greed

Africa is rich beyond measure.

DeBeers is one of the most corrupt companies in the world. It’s corporate Mafia at its worst. Numerous articles, reports and documentary’s on the diamond business.

Wow! No wonder nations are oppressing Africa, to steal and plunder their resources of great wealth!!!
