Letseng For The World's Biggest Diamond - Well Almost The Biggest Diamond.

Hey Guys! Any of you currently shopping for a diamond engagement ring? Well, take a l@@k at this!


The Letseng Diamond Mine in the African country of Lesotho earlier this month gave forth one of the largest pieces of diamond rough ever mined.

This diamond rough weighs 478 carats! and has been analyzed as being of top icy-white "D" color and excellent clarity. Diamond Experts believe that it will be possible to craft one 100 carat round brilliant diamond from this rough that will achieve a top color and clarity grade.


This diamond, which was found in September, ranks as the 20th largest rough diamond ever found, but is not the biggest ever taken from the Letseng Mine. Two bigger stones -- 603 and 493 carats -- were previously found back in 2006 and 2007.


Man, what an engagement ring this would be!


The world's largest diamond is the Cullinan, discovered in South Africa in 1905. It weighed more than 3,100 carats before it was cut into more than one hundred separate gems, many of which are now part of the British crown jewels.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
