This is one big diamond.

This thing is the size of a chicken egg.

It was discovered in South Africa.

The 507.55-carat gem reportedly has "exceptional color and clarity."

No value has been give yet for the

[Colvin]

I would sell it.
Can eat carbon, at least not in that form.

[FeliciaCat]

Wear it!

[PGR88]

Am sure there is a Saudi Prince somewhere, with more money than sense, who wants it.

[SoKatt]

I’d sell that sucker, pronto!

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

What do you do with something like this?

I'd sell it to the sap who thinks diamonds are rare simply because they're expensive.

E-Bay ? ;-)

[Artemis Webb]

I’d have it cut up. I’d get a lot of girlfriends and even give one to my wife.

[RobRoy]

Cut it into 500 one carat diamonds! I hear one carat diamonds are worth quite a bit. Times 500.

Atually, I’d sell it pretty much immediately. I could carry it around in my pocket to buy stuff, but I doubt anybody could make change.

;)

[Artemis Webb]

Your logic is a lot like saying land should have no value as there is so much of it.

[willgolfforfood]

Wow! That’s even bigger than the one I gave my wife - barely!

[RobRoy]

That reminds me.

Q: How do you know your girlfriend is getting fat?
A: Your wife’s clothes fit her.

[ctdonath2]

Get anything I want from my wife for the rest of my life.

[RobRoy]

>>It was discovered in South Africa. <<

Of all places. Shoot, I didn’t even think of looking there!

[DallasDeb]

wonder how big it will be after they cut it. Looks like an odd shape.

[Pharmboy]

Reminds me of a joke...

One lady sitting next to another at the opera says:
"Excuse me, but isn't that The Klopman Diamond on your finger?
"Why yes, it is, as a matter of fact...
"But...doesn't The Klopman Diamond come with a curse?
"Yes it does...Mr. Klopman."

[Billthedrill]

I would keep it in my pocket so I could cut gang symbols into the mirrors in public restrooms.

[La Lydia]

That is not a good plan. Diamond values rise exponentially with carat weight. You would do better to have few, larger ones.

Kobe Bryant could get at least a dozen more rapes out that rock, and still keep his wife!
