I know you saw those TWG diamonds at the Musee de la Civilisation in Quebec

In fact, it was «this» diamond and I was very lucky: since I am geologist, I always cary a magnifying glass. So I was able to see the diamond, not just feel its presence.

I could have made a lot of money renting that small instrument!!!!

According to the employee of the Museum, the diamond was from a «mine» in northern Québec. The mine was 30 km long and diamonds were very much bigger at depth. But they were only exploiting on surface, so the diamond exposed was smaller.

I asked who told him all this? The president himself, he said!!!!

LOLOL

I'l be back for the weight of the diamond.

My guess is the largest diamond found in the minibulk to be a 4.5 carat beauty which is actually fractured from a larger rock. .25 carats/tonne and $175/tonne
