diamond discovered in more than a century has been unearthed in Botswana, marking a historic discovery. The stunning 2,492 carat diamond was unveiled during a special ceremony presided over by Botswana's president. This stone, which is about the size of a fist and weighs about a pound, has attracted a lot of interest and enthusiasm, as per the reports of the New York Post. Initial estimates say the diamond may be worth over $40 million, but it is too early to confirm the actual value or complete the sale.
