552-carat yellow diamond is largest ever found in North America

A 552-carat yellow diamond was discovered at the Diavik Diamond Mines in Canada's Northwest Territories. The diamond, the size of a chicken egg, is three times larger than the previous record holder, the 187.7-carat Diavik Foxfire. Although the Diavik mine is known for high-quality diamonds, larger ones are typically found in southern Africa. The yellow diamond ranks seventh among the largest diamonds of the 21st century. Dominion, the company behind the discovery, states the diamond is of gem quality but has not determined its value. It will not be sold in its rough form, as the company plans to partner with someone to cut and polish the stone.
