Massive 170-Carat Pink Diamond Discovered in Angola

This rare pink diamond, weighing 34 grams, is thought to be the largest discovered in the last 300 years.

The 170 carat stone has been named the "Lulo Rose", after the mine in Angola where it was found.

It is believed to be the largest pink diamond mined since the 185-carat Daria-i-Noor, which was cut from a larger stone and is now among the Iranian crown jewels.

The Lulo Rose is a type 2a diamond, meaning it has few or no impurities.

"This record and spectacular pink diamond recovered from Lulo continues to showcase Angola as an important player on the world stage," said Diamantino Azevedo, Angola's minister of mineral resources.

It is the fifth largest diamond recovered from the Lulo mine - a joint venture between Australia's Lucapa Diamond Company and the Angolan government.

Similar diamonds have been bought for tens of millions of dollars in the past, with one - known as Pink Star - selling at a Hong Kong auction for $71.2m (£59m) in 2017.

The largest known pink diamond is the Daria-i-Noor, discovered in India, which experts believe was cut from an even larger stone and now forms part of the Iranian crown jewels. Another diamond cut from the same stone is also part of the same collection.

The largest rough diamond of any colour ever recorded is the Cullinan diamond, found in South Africa in 1905.

Weighing 3,107 carats - more than half a kilogram, it was cut into 105 different stones.

The largest of these - the Cullinan I - is the biggest clear cut diamond in the world and forms part of the UK Crown Jewels.

Pink diamonds are extremely rare - but the same physical attributes that make the stones scarce also make them very tough, and not easy to work into shapes.

Lulo Rose, il diamante più prezioso del Mondo

Questo diamante rosa è il più costoso di sempre e potrebbe rivoluzionare il mercato. In Angola, in una regione chiamata Lunda Norte, è stato scoperto un diamante rosa che ha lasciato tutti senza fiato. Battezzato "Lulo Rose", questo straordinario gioiello della natura di 170 carati sta già facendo parlare di sé come il potenziale diamante più costoso mai venduto all'asta. Cosa rende questa pietra così speciale? È la sua inusuale colorazione rosa che ha catturato l'immaginazione di tutti? La risposta potrebbe sorprendervi, ma i diamanti colorati rappresentano solo lo 0,01% di quelli estratti nel mondo, e il rosa è altrettanto raro quanto il blu, il verde, il viola, l'arancione e il rosso (anche se alcuni sono più unici di altri). Per tutti questi vale una semplice regola: la colorazione è il risultato di imperfezioni.

Nel caso dei diamanti rosa, si pensa che la loro colorazione sia dovuta a una distorsione nella struttura a reticolo della gemma, che altera il modo in cui la luce viene riflessa. Questa distorsione naturale è stata creato al "millimetro" per produrre il rosa; un po' di più e il diamante sarebbe stato marrone. Circa l'80-90% di queste pietre sono state scoperti nella stessa miniera, l'Argyle in Australia Occidentale, ora chiusa, che è stata il sito di una collisione continentale circa 1,8 miliardi di anni fa. Questo massiccio scontro ha fornito la pressione e il calore necessari per creare una gamma di diamanti dai colori più vari, dal rosa al rosso, al marrone, all'arancione e al viola. Nessuno di questi era grande come il Lulo Rose... e per questo motivo il suo costo sembra essere destinato a rimanere inciso nella storia. Pensate, infatti, che il diamante rosa Pink Star è stato venduto all'asta a Hong Kong per la cifra vertiginosa di 71,2 milioni di dollari nel 2017; prezzo che potrebbe essere perfino il doppio per il protagonista della nostra notizia.

Miners in the African country of Angola have discovered what is thought to be the biggest pink diamond in 300 years.Named Lulo Rose, the big pink gemstone of 170 carats was found in the Lulo diamond mine, according to owners the Lucapa Company - an alluvial mine, meaning it was found in a riverbed. "Only one in 10,000 diamonds is coloured pink. So you're certainly looking at a very rare article when you find a very large pink diamond," Lucapa chief executive Stephen Wetherall told the Associated Press.It will likely fetch a high price when it heads to the auction room, but Mr Wetherall suggested its colour could give it an even higher premium."We're looking for the kimberlite pipes that brought these diamonds to the surface," Mr Wetherall said. "When you find these high-value large diamonds… it certainly elevates the excitement from our perspective in our hunt for the primary source." The mine employs around 400 staff, and has already discovered the two largest diamonds ever found in Angola, which includes a 404-carat clear diamond.Lulo's latest discovery is the fifth-largest diamond - pink or otherwise - to be found at the site, and will be sold by Angola's state diamond marketing company Sodiam.The country itself is in the top 10 producers of diamonds in the world.Angola's minister of minerals, oil, and gas, Diamantino Azevedo, said: "This record and spectacular pink diamond recovered from Lulo continues to showcase Angola as an important player on the world stage for diamond mining and demonstrates the potential and rewards for commitment and investment in our growing diamond mining industry."While the 170-carat pink diamond is impressive, many clear diamonds often tip the scales at well over 1,000.
