Botswana Now Africa's Largest Diamond Producer

Last week, Botswana's president announced that they discovered the 3rd biggest diamond in the world.


Botswana President Dr. Mokgweetsi Masisi said that the discovery of the world's largest diamond in history “is a symbol of what Botswana is about.”




The estimate of the stone's price has not been released yet, but in speculation, it may cost somewhere close worth to $53m.


The largest known diamond is the "Cullinan", weighing more than 3,100 carats, unearthed in South Africa in 1905.


The second, of 1,109 carats, was discovered in 2015 at the Karowe mine in northeastern Botswana.
