I had my mother turned into diamonds when she died, not that big though.

I’ve seen a replica of the Cullinan diamond.....it wasn’t anywhere near as clear as this one......very impressive.

Thank goodness they found it! Because I had dropped that thing during a recent tour of Botswana. It's actually a family heirloom of ours, given to a great uncle by Tsar Alexander III...yep, that's the ticket.
Botswana, kindly mail it back to me. Don't forget the postal insurance. On receipt of the stone, I will forward to you all necessary proof of prior ownership.

They had a huge diamond at the 65 Worlds Fair. It was actually a hologram. You were encouraged to take it. Of course it disappeared when your hand touched it.

God Bless you. The Force is strong with you.
I was going to make a joke about zircoion cut glass...Bugs entered my mind and bang...there is Bugs.
How come Bugs Bunny never won a courage award?
He was wearing dresses long before Caytlin/Bruce/Lucy/Trent/Jenner was.

My immediate thought. Thank you.

If it was “found” then it must have been “lost”. If it was lost then it should be returned to the former owners.
Or maybe it was discovered?

If I found this rock on the beach or in a creek bed I would probably think it was a big piece of glass.

I swear we humans have some strange habits when we put a value to this thing.

"Valuation will depend on potential inclusions, how it would behave in cutting, optimal shape as well as final colour," he told AFP. No reason to cut it, IMO. It's absolutely gorgeous as is.
