Diamond tennis bracelet? P'shaw!

[pdq]

...how about a tennis-ball-sized diamond for the lady?

A Canadian company named Lucara Diamond announced on Wednesday that it had uncovered the world’s second largest diamond ever found...It was a 1,111 carat gem quality, Type IIa diamond... For a comparison, the well-known Hope Diamond is a different sort of diamond, a Type IIb blue diamond. It is roughly 24.5 carats.

The largest diamond ever found was the Cullinan stone from South Africa more than 100 years ago. That stone was said to be 3,106 carats.

This beauty was found just 4 days ago, in Botswana. Two days ago, they found two more, smaller gems (just 813 and 374 carats) in the same mine.

Holy schiit. There's a lot of restroom mirrors' worth of gang scrawl in that thing.

just another big chunk of carbon that suckers are willing to waste cash on.
Crush it; make medical instruments and cutting tools, then it's really useful.
