Proceeds from the auction of a 709.41-carat diamond found by a local pastor early this year in Sierra Leone will go to fund development projects in the community where it was found, the group managing the sale said on Tuesday.
International diamond trading network Rapaport Group will auction the stone named “Peace Diamond” for free in New York in December, it said in a news conference streamed online.
The idea is to inspire others traders to benefit the countries from which the stones come.The massive rock, found in the Kono district, is considered to be one of the world’s 20 largest diamonds ever discovered, and the second-largest precious rock ever unearthed in the West African nation.
