On November 19, at about 9 in the morning, a 1,111 carat diamond has been discovered at a mine in Botswana. It is said to be of high quality and is the biggest diamond to be found in more than a century, according to the mine company. The gem is only the second largest diamond in the world. It is second in size to the Cullinan diamond that was discovered in South Africa in 1905, an was mined by Lucara Diamond Corp. Personally, I would love to see this diamond in person. The picture does not even do the justice for me. It is beautiful! A little too big for an engagement ring though :).
