OT - Giant South African diamond slips through the net << South African police said on Monday that they were following the trail of a giant $2 million diamond stolen by a miner after a sorting machine spat it out as a lump of rock fit for the waste dump. The 186-carat diamond, which is believed to have been smuggled out to the Belgian cutting centre of Antwerp, is the size of an egg and would be the glittering centrepiece of any private collection. ''The sorting machine thought the diamond was just a large piece of rock...The miner picked it up from rock rubble,'' said Sergeant Johan Mulder of the Bloemhof police in the diamond -producing North West Province, southwest of Johannesburg. >> abcnews.go.com I think they need a better sorting machine. :-))
