A model displays a rare 603 carat white diamond sold for $12.36 million during a news conference in Antwerp, October 9, 2006.
The diamond, the 'Lesotho Promise', will be cut up and sold for an expected $20 million.

 

they should mount that on an engagement ring as is...

 

only 12.6?

I thought 600 carats would be more than that... like 5-6x that.

 

can't people make diamonds yet? diamonds are overpriced.

 

In the process of looking for one now.

 

geeez that thing is huge

 

apparently women doesn't agree (especially when they are going to get one from you )

 

after the cut. they will worth more !

but yeah. i thought it would be more way more than that ! maybe the color??

 

i want it!

 

I watched this show about some scientists who created a process that literally makes a diamond using a similar high heat and compression process that makes real diamonds in nature. They even added impurities normally associated with different diamond clarity variances. I think they even planned on selling them, a bit cheaper than a nature made diamond. Science are fun
