The largest diamond found in the last 13 years known as the “Lesotho Promise” was sold at auction for $12 million and is expected to fetch in excess $20 million once it has been cut down.
The 603-carat diamond the tenth largest white diamond ever to have been found went under the hammer at the Antwerp Diamond Center and was sold to the South African Diamond Corporation, owner of the luxury jewelers Graff.
The diamond is expected to be cut into a large heart-shaped diamond and several smaller stones which will then be sold. The uncut size of the diamond is a third bigger than the size of a golf ball.
