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. The Canadian mining corporation Lucara, which found the diamond at its Karowe Mine, is the source of this information. Some industry insiders, though, think this assessment may be low.
