A big pink diamond of 170 carats has been discovered in Angola and is claimed to be the largest such gemstone found in 300 years.
Called the "Lulo Rose," the diamond was found at the Lulo alluvial diamond mine, the mine's owner, the Lucapa Diamond Company, announced Wednesday on its website.
The Lulo mine has already produced the two largest diamonds ever found in Angola, including a 404-carat clear diamond.

The boys on 47th St are licking their chops. I used to walk through Manhattan's diamond district on my way to work.
