Serious Doubts Over "Record" Diamond

I cannot help but say, I knew there was something fishy about the recent discovery of the world's "largest rough diamond"

For one thing, the "diamond" was discovered by a small and relatively unknown South African mining company. Initial requests to view and study the diamond by major industry experts were also declined. There was a tremendous amount of secrecy surrounding the stone.

Nobody saw it, nobody studied it, nobody examined it..and basically, all the news we were hearing and reporting, stemmed from the select few individuals running this company.


The whole story sounded a bit queer, although I could not quite put my finger on it.....

Now it seems many news agencies and industry voices are starting to pick up on the bizzare aspects of this story.


In this BBC news report, they quote Ernest Blom, president of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses, who said he was withdrawing completely from the process to verify the stone.

Mr Blom said his requests to see the stone had not been met.

He said, "I am of the opinion that the 'diamond' could exist but I suspect something is afoot.


He further indicated that a Journalist told him she was shown a replica of this "diamond" which was passed off as the real thing.....

"Something sure is rotten in the State of Denmark"..................
