The discovery sent the company's shares soaring                       Re: Africa Diamond - ketchim - 05-04-2016 [size=11pt]Lesedi la Rona, the diamond's name means[size=1em] "Our Light" in Setswana,[/size] the national language of Botswana. An 1109-carat diamond : It's the size of a tennis ball. Re: Africa Diamond - krnd - 05-04-2016 To believe they would name a shiny rock "our light" is kind of ridiculous, that's a lot of money though, still I wouldn't call such a silly thing the light of any country.

A tennis ball size is a hefty chunk of millions of years old worth of mineral. Now let's guess which stuffs are going  to do with it. Luxury commodities for eccentric insanely rich? Diamond knives? Queen's new toothpaste? Re: Africa Diamond - ketchim - 05-05-2016 I say the Queen took the last find and it  now sits on the Royal something Dunno whom else !
