Just in time before you send your list to Santa, miners in the far reaches of Canada announced that they found a rough 552-carat yellow diamond, which is the largest diamond ever discovered in North America and the seventh-largest diamond ever found.
The diamond—about the size of a chicken egg– was discovered in October in Canada’s Northwest Territories– in Diavik-– which is about 135 miles away from the Arctic Circle, Mining.com reported. To put the discovery into perspective, the largest diamond ever found at Diavik was in 2015 and two-billion years old. Mining.com reported that the South Africa holds the title for the biggest diamond ever found: a 3,106 Cullinan, found in 1905.
