The Lesotho rough was cleaved (cut) into eighteen stones of varying weights and sizes. The gem below is the Lesotho I (Lesotho III, a 40.42-carat marquise-shaped diamond, was given to Jacqueline Kennedy by Aristotle Onaissis on the occasion of their engagement). This gem boasts 71.73-carats and was the largest stone cut from the original rough. Until now, it has remained with the same owner since Harry Winston sold it. It is estimated at $3-5 million.

Have you heard the most expensive book?

noreply@blogger.com (Apple-Nellie) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 00:27:00 +0000

World’s most expensive book. A British entrepreneur is selling what is believed to be the world’s most expensive book - for £3 million. Roger Shashoua is offering a diamond-encrusted edition of his new book Dancing With The Bear. He says Russian tycoons are the target readers for the made-to-order book which features more than 600 flawless diamonds. The book is an account of how the author made £100m through business in post-Soviet Russia.

He said: “There is so much money floating around in Russia that it seemed entirely logical to produce a book designed for the Russian market. I am just happy that conspicuous displays of consumption can now be associated with writing, rather than fashion accessories. I can only hope that oligarchs will read the book, rather than just keeping it locked away.” For the special edition, the cover has been switched from the standard white to black to show up the diamonds. ananova

Sierra Leone is renowned for the quality of its diamonds and for the recovery of some of the most spectacularly large stones of very high value. The largest diamond, discovered in February 1972, was the 969.8 ct 'Star of Sierra Leone'. More recently, in 1996, two stones weighing 188 ct and 283 ct were recovered and sold. Annual output reached a peak of around 2 Mct in the late 1960s, with output declining thereafter. By 1997, output was seriously disrupted by RUF rebel activity, with most of the diamondiferous areas becoming off-limits. More...

Native Diamond

Province, Congo

This diamond cube is only slightly distorted, being ever so slightly rhombic, perhaps 100%
flattened, and having a single small bump due to another diamond crystal intergrown with the cube. The color is nearly colorless, having only a hint of yellow, and the rough, multi-faceted surface hides any transparency - the diamond looks translucent. But when examined with a loupe and under a bright light, it appears that the crystal's interior may be largely transparent - not only do some sparkles pass through it, but a rainbow is visible at certain angles from light entering the far side of the loupe.
