Natagpuan sa Botswana ang 1,098-carat stone na pinaniniwalaang third largest diamond sa buong mundo, ayon sa Debswana Diamond Company noong Miyerkules.
Noong June 1 natagpuan ang naturang bato na ipinakita kay President Mokgweetsi Masisi.
Pahayag ni Debswana Managing Director Lynette Armstrong, "This is the largest diamond to be recovered by Debswana in its history of over 50 years in operation.
"From our preliminary analysis it could be the world's third largest gem quality stone. We are yet to make a decision on whether to sell it through the De Beers channel or through the state owned Okavango Diamond Company."
Ang pinakamalaking diamond sa mundo na nadiskubre ay ang 3,106-carat Cullinan na natagpuan sa South Africa noong 1905.
Ang second largest diamond naman ay ang 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona na kasinglaki ng isang tennis ball na nadiskubre sa Karowe, northeastern Botswana noong 2015.
