Question : How much will the massive diamond found in Africa yesterday be worth? Its the biggest ever found in history!
It's a diamond the size of a coconut!! Twice the size of the Culinan which was previously the largest ever diamond and it weight in at 7000 carats!! How much do you think it will be worth and what do you think will happen with it? Personally i dont think it should be altered in any way, i think it should be a museum piece.

Answer #2
Until it's cut into gems it's worthless. Diamond'sonly value is as an abrasive and jewelry. Jewelshave no intrinsic value (they're useless) butcertain material-obsessed people will pay millionsfor them. The people who own it will no doubtfigure out how to make the most out if it. Thiswill likely involve cutting it into a number ofgems.

In this instance, it is worth whatever some-one iswilling to pay for it (assuming the current ownersare willing to sell)As others have suggested,unless some multi--millionaire is willing to partwith massive amounts of money to have 'the worldsbiggest diamond, ever', it's likely to be cut intomultiple 'only just the biggest diamonds' (afterall, why make it too difficult to find, and sell,a larger one ?)As for putting it into a Museum -well perhaps the Getty Museum or similar hasalready bid for it :-)
