Workers in a Siberian mining company in Yakutia have discovered a large diamond weighing more than 136 carats, a spokesman for the republic's Industrial Ministry said on Thursday.
The diamond has a very rare "honey-yellow" color, measures 33 x 23 millimeters, and is of irregular shape. The diamond's worth has not yet been determined.
The diamond was discovered by the Udachninsky Mining Company, which is a subdivision of ALROSA, one of the world's largest diamond producers mining 25% of the world's diamonds.
We will keep fallowing this story and hold our breath to find out the estimated value of it.....
