I dunno, it looks a bit warm to me. Do you think it would be alright with white gold?

Maybe it will be a fancy yellow of some sort! It's definitely a honker!

It could very well finish in the fancy catagory. Yellow looks like pee to me tho.

I would love to see what they do with it! I wonder what a guess of the yield of that diamond would be when cut for carat weight, and what shape it would end up as?
 Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

Bloody hell....your chicks are not laying any eggs like that are they Lorelei  In terms of yield...they could probably squeeze two big honkers out of that! one for you, and one for me...LOL  (unless Mara beat us to it!)

Looks like a classic Kimberly mine faint to light yellow stone, very clean, sometimes with a nice tone of fluoresence. This will be an important finished stone, 100 carats plus, with nice secondaries... Rich, Independent GG Appraiser |

So if Mara or some other hits 100,000 post do they get a 100 carat diamond from Pricescope? Leonid should reserve this now... Perry

Can anyone post the crown and pavillion angles so we can tell if it's a good cut or not?? Seriously, what a stone. Does anyone have any idea how big that is IRL, the size of a piece of gravel, a quail's egg, a chicken's egg?? Thanks for posting that Agent3Civ. I wish you well, Bridget Pterodactyls rule. Except for the whole being extinct thing. |

Although rather difficult to judge from a low res photo, I am inclined to agree with Dia-Gem. This stone could polish white The photo seems to indicate a highly weathered surface or possibly a resorbed diamond In both cases it’s not uncommon particularly with alluvial larger stones to have a yellowish patchy outer skin and very white inside. We should watch the mining press and see what becomes of this stone. It belongs to a public company so will certainly get good press if it turns out to be a good stone Diamond Exchange Ltd.
