questionmark Posted June 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Quote LONDON, June 29 (UPI) -- The world's largest uncut diamond has not sold at a London auction. The Lesedi La Rona diamond, expected to sell for more than $ 70 million, fell notably short of the Sotheby's minimum reserve price. The auction was the first time such a large, rough diamond has been put on public sale. The diamond is the size of a tennis ball and weights in at 1,109 carats. The gem was discovered in Lucara Diamond Corp's Karowe mine in Botswana last November and estimated to be more 2.5 billion years old.
