No, I care about my "friends" in the imperial gold industry. Recently, I was very excited to see a news that "9 10 carat giant diamond was excavated".
According to the report, this giant diamond comes from the treasure mine in Lesotho, Africa, which is equivalent to the size of two golf balls, ranking fifth in the history of diamonds with an estimated value of 250 million pounds. This is really a gem. In addition, a large number of world-famous diamonds have been found in this Lesotho gem mine. As early as 2006, the world-famous giant white diamond-the 603-carat "Lesotho Commitment" diamond was discovered here.
It's a diamond-rich country in the world, which makes me want to mine.
Rare things are precious, and diamonds are bred in the fiery magma deep in the earth. With the violent volcanic eruption, they came to the world, and after hundreds of millions of years of weathering, tempering and tempering, they finally bloomed with dazzling brilliance and became eternal tokens of people's expression. And I heard that the bigger the diamond, the greater the status and intention of the symbol. Is it true?/You don't say.
Today, Imperial Gold Industry, I will take stock of the world-famous giant diamonds with you.
The world's largest African diamond
The largest diamond in diamond history was excavated from the vein near Leto in 1905, weighing 3 106 carats. It was named Cullinan, also known as the "Star of Africa", and then it was cut into two diamonds of different sizes and set in the British crown.
The oldest famous diamond in the world-Koino
"Inor Diamond", also known as "Mountain of Light", ranks first among the eight largest diamonds in the world and now weighs 105.6 carats.

In the last century, the British Governor-General Lord Daiheshi presented this oldest big diamond to Queen Victoria of England. Since then, "Inor Diamond" has become synonymous with the best diamond.

If you want to invest, spot gold is a good investment channel. As an investment product with the participation of global investors, gold has a fairer and more transparent investment market. Even in terms of risk, gold is much lower than diamonds. In addition, the most important point is that gold investment is a two-way transaction, and both buying up and buying down can make a profit. As long as you find the right direction, you will naturally have benefits.
With so many advantages, it is no wonder that more and more basin friends will choose to invest in gold!
