The

mine workers in Lesotho found one of the world's largest diamonds, a near-perfect white gem close to 500 carats, said Sunday the mining group Gem Diamonds. The diamond was discovered in the Letseng September 8, the company said in a statement, after being analyzed by experts in Antwerp, its value was estimated at 478 carats, with very few inclusions and of outstanding color and clarity.

Letseng is one of the most productive mines in history, where they have found four of the 20 largest diamonds in the world, including the three largest found this century. Before it is cut into gems it is hard to value a diamond, but a spokesman Gem Diamonds said a similar weight stone with lesser-quality color and clarity had recently sold $ 12 million.

"Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates it will produce a polished stone of the best color and clarity that will break all records, held through a statement Clifford Elphick, CEO of Gem Diamonds. The Minister of Natural Resources of Lesotho, a country located in the mountains in eastern South Africa, praised the productivity of the mine, one of the highest in the world, located over 3,000 meters. Letseng is owned 70 percent by Gem Diamonds and 30 percent the Government of Lesotho.

The world's largest diamond is the Cullinan, discovered in South Africa in 1905. Had a value of more than 3,100 carats before being cut in more than 100 gems, many of which are part of the British crown jewels.

Minerals & Egg Cartons



At the time of collecting minerals and rocks, we need to know that we are dealing with materials that were created over millions of years and by human carelessness of 1 second can damage or tear apart a fall or punch, so that their operation is one of the most important responsibilities of the mineralogist.

addition, in boxes minerals rub together, causing destruction of crystals and for example, your beautiful quartz is transformed into dust after a couple of months so this is not the best way to save, as well as in open a window or on TV since dust can bury forever the spectacular brightness of a pyrite or quartz.

While it is best to expose them in a thin case, there is a simple, free and elegant for the mineralogist newbie, these are: egg cartons. Yes, as it turns out that thanks to its design get a sturdy support for our most precious samples.

Take an egg carton (it costs nothing to ask them on poultry or stores) and put the minerals, pure and simple. Now, to give them more security you can place the egg carton with minerals and put inside another box (shoe for example) making it fit within it, just cut the "egg cup" to serve as a floor for container box .
