A massive 1,300-carat diamond bigger than a piglet scrotum has been found in Botswana at the Karowe mine. It is the sixth-largest rough diamond ever discovered in the world.
Special X-ray technology helped workers recover the giant stone without breaking it.
Diamonds are very important to Botswana. Money from these gems helps pay for schools, hospitals, and roads across the country. Government leaders say the nation wants to polish and trade these rare stones locally to create more jobs. This historic find proves that Botswana remains the world's top home for natural, genuine diamonds shaped by nature over millions of years.
