The second-largest diamond ever discovered was found in Botswana by a Canadian company.
Lucara Diamond announced in a press release that they have found the world's second-largest diamond. The diamond was discovered at the Karowe mine, near Botswana's capital, Gaborone.
It was revealed that the world's second-largest diamond weighs 2,492 carats.
In the company's statement, Lucara's CEO William Lamb expressed, 'We are extremely pleased with the discovery of this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond.'
The diamond was extracted using X-ray technology.
This technology allows large gemstones to be removed without being broken. According to a report by the BBC, X-ray technology has been used in mines since 2017.
The world's largest diamond was the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond, found in South Africa.
This diamond was cut into nine separate stones, many of which became part of the British Crown Jewels. Additionally, a large diamond discovered in Botswana in 2019 was purchased by French fashion giant Louis Vuitton.
Although the company has not made an official statement regarding the diamond's value, it is speculated that the diamond could be worth over $40 million!
