Massive Pink Diamond Found In Australia
24 Feb 2012 by Simon Gerber in Luxury
Diamonds are one of the world’s great fascinations. They enchant, mesmerise and sparkle. Nothing quite says “piss off, I’m rich” like a big rock. Not all diamonds are equal either – pink diamonds are the rarest of them all, accounting for only 0,1% of all cut diamonds. A 12,76 carat diamond has just been found in Australia – getting married soon?
The rock was found in Western Australia, and is the largest stone unearthed by the mining operation in its 26 years of operation. The stone is as yet uncut, but has piqued the interest of diamond enthusiasts and collectors all over the world. It is similar to the Williamson Pink, a diamond given to Queen Elizabeth as a wedding gift in the 1950′s.
It’s value will be determined when it goes on sale later this year.
