235-Carat South African Diamond.

South African diamond company Nare Diamonds Ltd. uncovered a huge 235-carat diamond (the size of a hen’s egg), just weeks after launching its operations:

The mine was shut down three years ago by another firm that went bankrupt, a spokesman said. During the mine’s previous operations, the average size of stones was 1.14 carats.

"The large-sized gemstone is octahedron in shape and of very good quality according to a third party assessor," the statement to the London stock exchange said.
