Miners in Angola have unearthed a rare pure pink diamond that is believed
to be the largest found in 300 years, the Australian site operator
announced Wednesday.

A 170 carat pink diamond - dubbed The Lulo Rose - was discovered at Lulo
mine in the country’s diamond-rich northeast and is among the largest pink
diamonds ever found, the Lucapa Diamond Company said in a statement to
investors.

The “historic” find of the Type IIa diamond, one of the rarest and purest
forms of natural stones, was welcomed by the Angolan government, which is
also a partner in the mine.
