The third-largest cut diamond ever recorded will be the highlight in Royal Ontario Museum’s exhibition “The Nature of Diamonds.”
This diamond, which is called the “Incomparable Diamond” weights 407.48 carats, is kite-shaped, and is golden colored.
The diamond was found by a young girl, Mbuji-Maya in the Republic of Congo in the 1980s. It was then 890 carats. She gave it to her uncle who then sold it to the local diamond dealers.
The exhibition will run from October 25th to March 22nd.
