The discovery of a massive 2,492-carat diamond in Botswana could revitalize the natural diamond mining industry, which has faced challenges in recent years.
President Mokgweetsi Masisi showcased the diamond, highlighting it as the largest in over a century, prompting optimism among mining companies and experts.
Paul Zimnisky noted, "All of the stars aligned with that volcanic eruption, and the conditions were just perfect" for such a rare discovery.
The rough diamond's weight, exceeding a pound and a half, marks it as the second-largest ever found, though its valuation will take some time.
