BOTSWANA (WLS) --
Gemologists are scratching their heads over one of the biggest diamonds discovered in a century.

It was found in Botswana.

The rock is more than 1,100 carats and is too big to be analyzed by a computer, so jewelers have to rely on their knowledge and eye to determine its value.

Some experts are guessing the diamond is worth about $66 million.

A great looking diamond, but a ugly hand.

I agree ! it looks as ugly as mine :laughing7:
it almost looks like they painted some 80 year old frail man's fingernails

actually if you look close it may be a Man or Mannequin hand.
and the nail polish and nails look like they were painted on the picture not the hand
