history of diamonds
The history of this diamond is very interesting. In the early 1980s, a little girl in the Democratic Republic of the Congo found this diamond in the rubble while playing in her uncle’s yard. At that time the miners at the nearby state-owned diamond mine MIBA dumped it because it was too heavy and large. Which he thought was garbage. Little did they know that it could be a rough 890 carat diamond. It was one of the largest rough diamonds in the world at that time. The girl gave the diamond to her uncle. who sold it to a local diamond merchant.
