‘Impossibly rare violet diamond’ discovered in Australia
The gemstone in question is a rare violet diamond that, at 9.17 carats, was the largest jewel of its kind ever discovered, the media outlets said. It was originally unearthed in August 2015 and after several weeks of assessment, it was polished down to a 2.83 carat oval-shaped diamond.
