According to foreign media reports, on September 25, local time, the world's largest original diamond was sold for 53 million US dollars (about 350 million yuan). The diamond was found in a mining area in Botswana, Africa, in November 2015.
The giant diamond fetched $53 million.
The diamond is reportedly called Lesedi La Rona, which means "my light" in Botswana. It is about 2.5 billion to 3 billion years old.
The 1109 ct diamond was pocketed by the famous British jeweler Graff Diamonds, who will be responsible for cutting and polishing it.
The diamond weighs 1109 carats, the size of a tennis ball.
It is reported that the "Wuguang" diamond is the largest existing primary diamond in the world, second only to the famous Cullinan diamond. The Cullinan original diamond weighed 3106.75 carats and was eventually cut into 105 diamonds, some of which were used in the Crown and Scepter settings of the British Royal Family.
