552 ct yellow diamond found in Canada

[SandyinAnaheim]

I heard this on the radio today, apparently it's 3x bigger than the last largest diamond found in North America in 2015 at the Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada's Northwest Territories. I wish CBI would be the "partner" they choose to cut and polish it!!

Yeah, totally clueless talking head...but can you imagine, a diamond the size of an egg? I don't think there is a conceivable way to wear that thing, or get DSS from it.

Whoa!!! That's incredible!!! That'll be a fancy cut for sure, so Yoram @diagem by far would be my choice to cut that baby!

You know, I was thinking that, but I'm not sure he likes yellow....

Wouldn't it be nice to stumble across this whilst digging in the garden!?
