(26,144 posts)1. Wow. What a diamond! When I first read this title, I was thinking that they were talking about diamond
mining in Canada, being that Canada has become over the last 40 or 50 years a large diamond/etc. mining region in the world.
I wonder what the powers that be have planned for this diamond? It's going to take some planning etc., in order to determine how to cut the diamond in multiple chunks.
