Yeah, I was rummaging down the back of the sofa, and there it was. Hope you all like it...

Oh, how I wish!

Interested to see what they do with it (I couldn't open the link, for some reason, there may be info about that).

Hmm, not working for me, but I think it's my new laptop rather than the actual link. It's very picky about what it will and will not do for me. Huh?

It worked fine for me, Mikla. Just in case, text of the AP release below:

Quote
JOHANNESBURG - Petra Diamonds Ltd. says a diamond the size of a chicken egg has been found at South Africa's Cullinan mine.

The diamond may be among the world's top 20 high-quality gems. It was discovered Thursday at the mine northeast of Pretoria, South Africa. Johan Dippenaar, the company's chief executive said in a statement Tuesday that the 507.55-carat gem was of "exceptional color and clarity." No value has been given yet for the diamond, which weighs just over 100 grams.

The mine also produced the largest diamond ever found, the Cullinan, at 3,106 carats in the rough. That finished stone is set in Britain's Imperial Scepter as part of the Crown Jewels.

My DS looked at it and commented 'it doesn't look that clear to me!'   It was hard, but I managed to refrain from ROFL  rotflmao

Funny, I would never find this man attractive normally, but because he is holding a 500 carat diamond next to his face he is looking a little better.  Kiss

It just follows Darwin's laws on natural selection, after all.  I understand perfectly, GG.  angel

You mean like, there are 10 guys in a room, which one are you going to select? Why, the one holding the 500ct diamond, naturally!  Grin

It really doesn't hurt his attractiveness rating at all, does it?!

Yes, the effect is well documented in a paper by Arpels, Comfort and Fouquet entitled "The aestheto-thaumaturgical effect of sp3 crystalline carbon on the Afrikaner male", The Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2002, IV

This thread is hilarious!

I hope that poor man isn't reading it. Or if he is that he knows we're only teasing.

David, what shape do you think this will be cut into? Or will it be cut into a bunch of smaller diamonds? It looks almost like a pear right now.

It would make the most amazing pear I've ever seen!

GIAGirl, what is that thing?!
