| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A unique 340-carat diamond has been mined at the V. Grib deposit in the Arkhangelsk Region, setting a record for the largest diamond ever mined. This was announced by the region's governor, Alexander Tsybulsky, on October 13. "The stone is not only impressive in size, it is of exceptional quality and has high market value," the regional governor noted on his Telegram channel. The discovered crystal is among the five largest diamonds ever mined in modern Russia. Such large, high-quality stones account for no more than 2% of the total volume of natural diamonds on the global market. On May 8, the diamond mining company Alrosa unveiled the largest gem-quality diamond it had ever mined in the country. The amber-colored diamond, mined in Yakutia, weighs 468.30 carats and measures 56 x 54 x 22 mm. |
