It measures 35x20x26 mm...Russia’s diamond-mining giant ALROSA has produced a ‘unique’ diamond weighing 145.44 carats, the company announced in a statement Tuesday, February 12, RIA Novosti reported.
The diamond was brought to grass from the depths of the Yubileynaya Diamond Pipe and measures 35x20x26 mm and is octahedral in shape, the company said. It is transparent with a yellow hue.
