A giant diamond that was found at the Cullinan mine in South Africa has been sold. The diamond is about 507 carats and is still in rough form. Petra Diamonds sold the piece to Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Co LTD from Hong Kong for $35.3 million dollars. The sale marks the highest amount ever paid for a rough diamond.
What will happen to the stone remains to be seen? It may be cut into a large stone that could be similar to those in Britain’s Crown Jewels. It will be interesting to follow the life of this stone and to see it when it is cut.
