it was found in Lesotho in August, then it sold for $12.36 million in Antwerp and is expected to fetch more than $20 million once it gets cut into smaller stones

That's wild. Tiffanys in NYC sometimes has some crazy big diamonds in the windows.

I heard on the news that the stone was to be cut and polished as a single unit. Not to be chopped up into smaller ones.:thumbsup Nice friggin piece of ice there!

I never understood why diamonds are so popular, they are clear fucking stones

there are so many more beautiful stones out there

diamonds are so boring

nice rock!

I agree with you
 

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

that thing is fucking huge

kinda like the one in snatch

Yeah, but women love them for the fact that everyone knows how much they cost... Also the coloured diamonds are getting more popular now... just check the gossip mags!

to be honest, I really have yet to meet any woman that truely likes diamonds, they all say they like them only because their husbands gave some to them, but in reality they really also think they are boring

I also don't surround myself with people that buy things because of the status or price of that object ;)

Because De Beers hold 75% or something of the world market for diamonds and they control supply, thus stocking up on diamonds and keeping prices high. If it wasn't for the close-to-monopoly market control they exercise, real diamonds would probably be cheaper than artificially created ones.

I wish I was the one who found it!

yeah, I know all that.....and btw, they are down to under 50% these days

but I am just talking about the look and shit of a diamond, it has to be the most boring precious stone

It's the prismatic qualities and durability that make them cool. Still, opals are even nicer and a lot cheaper.

12 million dollars would go a long way to feeding the people of Africa

Fuck, I thought that one in my grandma's chest was the biggest we have right now. :(

Yep. A diamond would just be a random stone if it wasn't for them

It is pretty hard to not encounter those people.... Well done! :thumbsup

Diamonds are basically a status symbol and in this materialistic age love is often displayed with dollars... :Oh crap I'm not saying personally, but I see it every day.

the biggest diamond i found personally was my wife/bitch
maybe she still is a flawed diamond

somehow I missed the 'oooh shiny thing' gene that most women have

hahaha, yeah, my wife is the same way

actually, she has that ooohhh shiney gene, but not for diamonds and shit like that, I just bought her a limited edition clear hello kitty pez set, i believe she said "oooohh shiney" when I gave it to her

aaaahhhh, the simple things in life make it worth while ;)

If you buy diamonds you are supporting people and an industry you probably wouldn't want to support if you knew anything about it :2 cents:

I'm going diamond hunting.

Imagine being the guy who found that.

He probably hugged it all the way home glaring it everyone who looked at him.

It'd be like the winning lotto ticket. What do i do, ? where do i go ?, ahhhhhh.

you're talking about the "blood diamonds", right?

but then .... I woudn't want to buy anything American because their troops killed thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq, can't really buy anything Chinese because they still torture people, Russian is out of question too - their "involvement" in Chechnya is to say the least questionable, and I shouldn't buy pizza from the shop across because at least 3 bucks will go directly to the South African government and these are the people that wouldn't let me even apply for a job just because I'm white and supporting them would be suicidal, wouldn't it

diamonds are beautiful, i love them! ^_^ \/

Was the only one who thought this was going to be an image of screech's cock?

ask women :1orglaugh

Now, Pez I can understaned...as my collection would suggest.

diamond are a men's best friend

Most specially girls they love diamond

Wow.. that is a big one :) :D
