It is distinguished by its impressive size, as well as a non-standard shape and color combination.

Alrosa has mined the largest gem-quality diamond in the last 10 years. The organization reported this on its telegram channel.

Alrosa is an organization that includes the diamond mining group Almazy Anbar. It is she who owns the find, which was hidden from human eyes for a long time in the Mayat mine, located in the Republic of Sakha-Yakutia.

How much does a diamond weigh? The weight of the precious find is 390.7 carats. It is a light crystal with a yellow-brown halo. The unusual shape of the diamond, as well as the combination of the rim and the crystal itself, allowed the company and the experts who analyzed the stone to note that the diamond found was rare and unique. The last time a gem-quality stone weighing regarding 400 carats was found was 10 years ago, in 2013.

Company director Pavel Marinychev noted that the find is undoubtedly one of the organization’s main achievements in recent years, as well as an excellent end to the so-called 2023 washing season.
