No que diz respeito aos diamantes, este realmente é um corte acima do resto.
An ‘astounding’ half–pink jewel has been unearthed in the Karowe Mine in Botswana – and it weighs a whopping 37.41 carats (7.5g).
The diamond is one inch long and has a ‘sharp’ boundary between the dusky pink and colourless sections.
Jewels this colour are incredibly rare because temperature and pressure conditions have to be just right for them to form.
Experts believe it could be one of the most important pink diamonds in history.
Oded Mansori, co-founder of diamond-cutting firm HB Antwerp, said: ‘This stone has the potential to become one of the most important pink diamonds ever polished.
‘Its intensely rich coloration is a testament to the geological uniqueness of the Karowe Mine.
‘And our deep understanding of the manufacturing process will allow us to capture its vibrant color to the fullest extent possible.’
