Earlier this week a new unpolished 478-carat diamond was discovered in Lesotho. It’s reported to be the 20th largest rough diamond ever discovered, and it’s particularly special because of its great color (grade D, the highest for a white diamond) and clarity. It may even yield a 100-carat plus round stone. The last time an especially large diamond was discovered, it turned out to be a hoax. I’m not holding my breath this time.
