The World's 27th-Largest Diamond Has Been Found and It Is Enormous

A 404.2-carat diamond has been discovered in Angola, NBC News reports. It is almost 3 inches long and is the 27th largest diamond to ever be discovered.

According to the Australian Lucapa Diamond Company, the diamond is categorized as a rare Type II stone, which (1) 99 percent of the world's diamonds do not qualify for and (2) means it is "virtually flawless." The company did not say how much the diamond is worth. Probably, though, you cannot buy it and will never be able to either.

Fighting the temptation to make a ***flawless joke, though the joke tells itself really, doesn't it? ~ ***flawless~?​ ~ ***flawless~?​ ​~ ***flawless~?​ ​~ ***flawless~?​ ​~ ***flawless~ ​?​
