The Incomparable Diamond

It is, as its name suggests, incomparable! At 407.48 carats, it is the third largest cut diamond in the world and the largest cut yellow diamond in the world. The Incomparable was found in its rough state weighing 890 carats and is the largest diamond ever offered to the public for sale. Incredibly, it was discovered by a young girl playing in a pile of rubble outside her uncle's house in the Congo in the 1980s.

Note how gold is used to "adorn" this "rubble!"

The message is, "you just never know what's around the next corner, what you'll find at the next "flea" market, or what treasure the next "rubble" pile will yield! Or, for that matter, the next "drill core!"

As this "Yellow" diamond finds its way through cyberspace, SAN's nugget (one of the most interesting and largest ever found!) should be a "Counter party!"

Can somebody post its picture? Has it been named!

How about, "The Lost Nugget of Bissett."
