If Only I Could Find One Of These At The Bottom Of My Garden,

it is a record breaking $35.3m (£23.1m) diamond, named The Cullinan Heritage diamond, it was discovered last year, the 507 caret gem found by Petra, the mining company that discovered the diamond, said the price reflected the gem's rare combination of size and exceptional clarity, "It has the potential to produce one of the world's most important polished gems," said Petra's chief executive Johan Dippenaar, the diamond was found at the Cullinan mine in South Africa - a known source of some of the world's largest diamonds, a 168-carat stone was also discovered along side it, as well as one of 58 carats and another of 53 carats, the largest diamond to be discovered, named the Cullinan, was 3,106 carats, so bucket and spade, off to South Africa then, how does the song go? hey ho, hey ho it's off to work we go!
