From Miners Found a 706-Carat Diamond. Who Should Get the Profit?
From Miners Found a 706-Carat Diamond. Who Should Get the Profit?

DAKAR, Senegal – Fist-size and lumpy, the rock that a team of miners came upon recently in the diamond fields of Sierra Leone was orange with red speckles that looked like tiny droplets of palm oil.
They almost tossed it aside. The rock didn’t seem like the kind of gem that diggers typically unearth in a nation with a reputation for having some of the highest quality and most transparent diamonds in the world. But the rock was unusual enough to take to a local diamond dealer.
