Hello JP! Geez, the one guess I thought you should change, you didn't! [Largest diamond: from 8.34 carats to 8.34 carats]

From Wills CARGO streetwire "As a result, the company's latest mini-bulk sample will be processed with a larger maximum screen size. The earlier sample had been crushed to six millimetres, but the latest batches are being initially processed after being crushed to just 12 millimetres. While the six-millimetre crush made it unlikely that any diamonds larger than one carat would survive intact, the 12-millimetre limit should raise the maximum recoverable diamond size to about eight carats. "

But, as you have clearly shown me, you are a smart guy, and maybe you know that a maximum 8.34 carrat diamond could possibly slip through 12 millimetres.

Lots of posts to get through tonight,...interesting stuff though.
I think Hermann must put out some good diamond bait to get that big chunker to come out of its hole,...
and now we find out what happened to all the missing core. Gold jumping up again,...maybe we can forget about the diamonds and
switch to the gold play soon (ggggggggggg)

That big diamond you are hopeing for may be a big pearl from the big fossilized oyster in Freightrain ;-))
