JOHANNESBURG (AFP) – Mining group Petra Diamonds has discovered a 507.55 carat white diamond at South Africa's Cullinan mine, one of the largest high-quality rough diamonds ever found, the firm said on Tuesday.
"This spectacular gemstone was recovered on Thursday 24 September and is currently with experts for analysis," said a statement released by the London-listed company which operates mainly in Africa.
Initial examinations of the diamond which weighs just over 100 grams (3.5 ounces), have shown it to be of exceptional colour and clarity.

1 ctw Certified Colorless Seven Stone Ring
I purchased one of these rings two years ago over Halloween weekend, and it is absolutely amazing! While it was on sale (I think I paid about $500 less than the regular price), I would reccomend this purchase at the full price. The ring is beautiful, and I constantly get comments and questions about it.

So today I was getting ready for work and I decided to finally try out my new diamonds. With the short time I had, here is what I created. I used the white eyeshadow about a half centimeter high on my lid, then LIGHTLY dusted the brown a little above it ( just to make the white pop) I then highlighted my tearducts lightly with the white shadow.
