Miners in the south-west province of South Africa have unearthed a diamond twice as big as the Cullinan. Earlier the title of the world’s largest diamond was held by the 203 carat Millennium Star. This discovery has sent shock waves to all the diamond communities who are now waiting for its bidding amongst worldwide buyers. Reports suggest that the bid amount might reach to as much as £15m!
The Cullinan was discovered more than a century ago and was recently acknowledged as the largest cut diamond in the world, weighing 530.20 carats. This diamond was outshone by another of the same name, weighing 545.67 carats. The Cullinan diamond now sits pretty on King Edward’s scepter in the Tower of London.
