Massive diamond found in Lesotho


"Miners in Lesotho [Africa] have discovered a huge gem stone which may become the largest ever polished diamond.

The stone weighs 478 carats and is the 20th largest rough diamond ever found, said Gem Diamonds.

The company said the uncut rock was recovered recently from the Letseng mine, owned by the company in Lesotho.

The diamond, which is as yet unnamed, has the potential to yield a 150 carat cut stone, and could sell for tens of millions of dollars, the company said."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I don't know if the crimes against humanity chronicled in the movie Blood Diamond holds true today, but if people are still kidnapping entire families and cutting off arms for precious stones, this rock alone might just set off a new chapter of tragic tribal warfare. This gargantuan diamond can't be good news for everybody involved, right?

I mean, shiiiiiiiiiit, I've personally seen niggas get dragged down the street head 1st for a Cuban Link when the lock wouldn't pop. Even worse, I've seen victims get dragged/strong-armed/beaten/bludgeoned/etc. for what was later, upon taking it to the scales, proven to be a fake "bandooloo" diamond chain ... lol. Yeah, sometimes it's so not worth it.
