Took them 26 years of mining kimberlite in the area to find one this big. Will probably go for more then 10 million.

What a pretty specimen shame they gotta cut it up.

If I ever found something that cool I would toss it not knowing what it was.

Most diamonds have that distinct shape. Or two crystal stuck together that look just that one(except for color). Some are harder to ID.

I found a diamond in greensboro, it was flawed and not gem quality but was pretty large for the area...it was 1.5 k, I sold it to someone. I wished I had a picture of it..
