A mining company in Angola has recovered what it says is the largest pink diamond the world has seen in 300 years.
Miners discovered the 170-carat pink stone at the open pit Lulo alluvial mine in the northeast region of the southern African nation. The Australia-based Lucapa Diamond Company has named the stone “the Lulo Rose,” according to a statement.
“Only one in 10,000 diamonds is colored pink. So you’re certainly looking at a very rare article when you find a very large pink diamond,” Stephen Wetherall, CEO of Lucapa, told The Associated Press.
The pink diamond will be sold via international tender by an Angolan state-owned mining company, the release said.
The company recovered the stone from a riverbed, where it is searching for underground deposits known as kimberlite pipes. These deposits are the main source of diamonds, Wetherall told the Associated Press.

**”HYMALAYA SALT”**
The stock market has been a really tough one this past months , but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning” .. Larry Gary …” . This prompted me to get in touch with him , and from October 2020 till now we have been working together , and I can now boast of $ 460 k in my trading portfolio.
I also trade with Mr Larry Gary, and i must say he makes money making seem a whole lot easier right now I’m a single parent and i pay the bills comfortably since i met Larry Gary he’s absolutely amazing and I’d recommend him for any novice in crypto.
Please how can I get in touch with this man Larry Gary?
