This Massive Diamond is a Freak... and It's About to Go on Sale

- May 18 -- Even in the world of rare stones, Foxfire is a freak. It was buried in a place where big gem-quality diamonds aren’t supposed to exist. A Rio Tinto Group ore processor was configured to discard it. And what saved the diamond’s 187.7 carats from being pulverized was a fluke: Its unusual, elongated shape allowed it to slip sideways through a filtering screen.

Bruh why make a pendent when you could make a diamond shovel.

Silent Gaming 👏🏻 he 👏🏻 did👏🏻a👏🏻quote👏🏻
@@user-ue5cp4re3k but u would need 2 diamonds
THAT WAS WHAT I WAS THINKING! What a waste
Diamonds did have some practical value due to their unrivalled natural hardness in using them in cutting edge machine blades. But that's in the past after the technology of creating artificial diamonds took place.
Correct!
Thats usually what the really small ones are used for
Why do you think we prefer diamond swords over wooden ones?
That huge diamond could be ground down into LOTS of abrasive dust, which could be used to make a LOT of diamond edged abrasive cutting wheels. That's the most logical and practical use for this diamond IMO.... LOL
Well you can't grow diamonds
No one :
Literally no one :
TH-cam recommended : this diamond is a freak
That guy seems a little too proud of destroying a pristine untouched lake...
Dan Wally just for a stupid piece of rock.
What?
This diamond mine in located in a tundra- a desert!
you seem a little too ignorant commenting on a machine that required diamond (about 80 percent of diamond is used in industry not jewelry)
and you seem a little too ignorant of the location
@@ArthurCowdery You're a fool
Arthur You really are an idiot
Dan Wally who cares it’s just a lake
2 more pieces and he can make a pickaxe
Or
1 more and they can make a sword
Im Smoky they probably die in lava before they find that second one
He can make a shovel
100% worthless stone. joke of the Century
Last century maybe. The joke of this century is people trying to console themselves by belittling things that they know they can't afford. It's funny because they think people can't smell their jealousy.
@@Duras80 It's not lies dufus. It's supply and demand. Even if diamonds are not rare, no one is stopping you from digging one up to be your buttplug or whatever. But most people don't wanna do that. They prefer to get it at a jewelry store, well cut, polished, set in gold, and most importantly, nowhere near your unwashed ass. With your logic, why do you even bother to pay so much for your computer? The chips are mainly silicon. Just stuff a box with sand and maybe you'll get a super-computer, genius.
Stefan , you are 100% useless, I would choose the diamond over your dumass
Diamonds of that size are incredibly rare.
jort93z The fucker destroyed a whole lake for that stupid rock.
Look at that smile of that greedy diamond CEO talk about that worthless carbon.
you saw his name right
Mark Miranda they destroy land for a piece of worthless rock.
All I can picture is the smiles of all you smug commentators who have no idea how value works. You guys are truly the most worthless people humanity has to offer. No really. What a waste of resources it is to keep you alive.
@@marcusnilsson7179 jesus christ. Calm down.
It’s just that you don’t understand worthless. Price is put on by humans. It’s worth money cause humans give it worth. If it’s worthless no one would bother giving it another look. But obviously it isn’t worthless. It’s worth more than you.
Large diamonds are rare, but I remember watching a Periodic Videos clip about diamonds and he was in one of the labs where they process and cut diamonds. He had a tray of diamonds worth a million dollars, but there was 27,000 carats in the box, so each carat was only worth around $37. And they sell em for $5,000+???

Muito bom
Jeff’s Wife can afford it
Just watched a vid about her
You think that they might've worn gloves holding a huge diamond but I guess not...
Alan G yea but I guess it is one of the hardest stones on earth so power wash that bitch
Matthew not one of the hardest, it IS the hardest
Why? Coz they might scratch it? 😂
It's the opposite of the hope diamond. It's lucky instead of cursed.
It was named the Fox Fire diamond. The first found in the western hemisphere of that size. But diamonds are very common they are just way too deep close to the center of the earth if you blow a torch at a diamond it eventually burns as it is carbon.
A diamond doesn't burn, at least not usually. If you put it in pure oxygen it does, but it won't burn in the normal atmosphere. Just because water contains hydrogen and oxygen it doesn't explode when you ignite it, does it?
people and their meaningless stuff..
pleasebringmeback u just only say that because u can’t have it
More like, people and their meaningless envy of other people's stuff.
@@burtonl7239 Envying a rock that costs thousands of dollars and immediately loses half it's value once you buy it? A rock that has no use other than to increase a woman's poor self esteem. That's hilarious.
Wow cool! A chunk of one of the most abundant elements on the planet, which has had its price inflated to make money out of it.
Do you think you're smart?
"Oh look at me I'm not like Others"
@@equintrinity8678 and you are by writing your lame ass douchey reply?
Fuck abundance, it's infinite now that we can 'grow' them in furnaces. Seriously lol why buy ones we had to dig up.
I get that it’s a geological wonder and all. But isn’t there anything more productive a diamond of this size can be made into?
Odds are they've crushed a dozen of them
Dadson worldwide the only thing that can crush diamond is diamond, I doubt it
@@Auhtist Except for the 2 crushers that are configured to crush anything over an inch in size that they just mentioned in this video...
Diamonds may be the hardest material on the Mohs scale, but hardness just refers to the difficulty in scratching something. Crushing a diamond, on the other hand, can be accomplished relatively easily.
They will crush anything over a inch
As mentioned.
Early on this showed us a man watches for them to save. Human eyes suck they've crushed big ones a bunch.
Yes the grinder can chip diamonds to dust .certain cutting surfaces use this dust
And is crushed finely all the time.
Exactly
2:04 that is a lot of diaminds
poe exactly, yet people are still willing to pay top dollar
They're not pure and big enough
@@nziom that's what she said
Can't wait for synthetic diamonds to go mainstream
Artificial sweeteners have gone mainstream for ages, but sugar is still ballin. Brass can be made to look golden, but gold is still way more expensive. Synthetic diamonds will probably be used in research, manufacturing, lasers, etc. But I don't think it will affect the demand for natural diamonds.
@@burtonl7239 there's a big difference between those and this. Sugar and brass are chemically different still. This is chemically identical
Looks like a normal chunk of quartz lol
Looks like kryptonite..someone is planning to kill superman
A diamond is literally a rock, that can be duped by many other stones and you guys wouldn’t even notice 🤦🏼♀️ love the human race and how smart everyone is 😍😍 like who pays so much for a rock?! For whyyyyy
An old diamond folksfire, Very important in the Canadian large diamond inventory
To all the people here hating on diamonds, diamonds have been a symbol, a status which many people call a rock with a huge amount of value, when cheap cotton and dyes can make a t-shirt that is valued at hundreds of dollars just for the sake of branding, why not a rock which is rare(not as rare as de beers and such companies say it) and shiny be given value, a marriage of nature, history and art to make highly refractive attractive jewels. At the end, it's about supply and demand; humans have been in love with this rock for quite sometime now and will surely still will be. Whatever it may be, it is us humans who value things which we find appropriate.
U can actually make a flawless man made diamond of any size now. 4 all we know this 1 may b man made
Amo Diamantes brutos grande,eles tem uma coisa maravilhosa, só sei que não paro de admira los 💎🇧🇷♥️💎
We’ve been mining for rare and precious stones and medals for thousands of years; how dumb are people to believe that after TONS of the stuff being unearthed that they are still RARE and PRECIOUS? Pretty, maybe-but one’d be a fool to think they’re valuable.
wait what are diamonds used for
(except diamond tools and armor ofc)
They are also used to make enchantment tables, firework stars, and jukeboxes.
Darn I forgot about that.
I'll trade you a Happy Meal for it...if I get to keep the burger portion.
It didn't escape the crushers, it was planted
6.4 million carats and they cost how much? Supply and demand is controlled by someone.....
@Josh Hockman haha you get it. 👍👊
Funny how common diamonds are yet go for more than anything.
still blows my mind how people risk their lives digging for stones
What do you think of what they do on TikTok? An even bigger waste of their life.
I don’t have any problems with the industry with one exception. Conflict diamonds. 💎
I wish those diamonds are edible
The same as the one in 2.16, oily yellow and white in the middle, j or k. It's probably 0.15 0.2 carats. I wonder how much it is worth. A sweet oval-shaped diamond with a color close to the peace apple. There was an earthquake in our country, I removed the video of the diamond out of respect for our earthquake victims, I will upload the video again
🙂😉☺
Esse diamante é muito grande e lindo 🇧🇷🇧🇷♥️🇧🇷💎💎🇧🇷♥️👍
It's planted techno diamond product of Silicon carbide,, real diamond are not found there.
Canadian diamonds are special as they can be devoid of any , "Conflict"/ "Blood Diamonds".
"If rock was the most rarest mineral in the world, diamonds would be undesired and cheap"
Idiotic that diamonds cost so much... considering they aren't rare and the price is completely and totally controlled by the few people in charge limiting the supply.
If one were to think about how many diamonds have been turned into jewelry, rings, pendants, bracelets, and earrings;over the course of the past two hundred years or so- how can anyone not realize how we are being duped? Rare? every different size, every different color, it is marketing trickery, and nothing more.
💎💎❤❤❤ amo vê estes vídeos com estes diamantes Brutos grandes mostrando o seu mistério, Não. Que seja difícil encontrar diamantes Brutos ,eles estão em todas as parte do mundo,nos rios.nos corregos,nos mares, na terra então não.é difícil encontrar los...❤❤💎💎💎❤💎🇧🇷🇧🇷💗

It is the first rough diamond found in the United States of this enormous size. of more than 2000 carats. could someone advise me
No I have one
BEAUTIFUL !!!!

Fury got robbed
That was funny I've seen that comment a 100 times I bet.
Agree 100%
its also cuz the larger diamond was more beautifuler it was clear and not as yellow and didn't have as much imperfections so its not just the size cuz most of the time that size has to be cut down if you want it to be a real diamond the way we see today
I got the same dimond and it’s funny how it looks
I'll trade it for a cookie.
Ohhh... I reallu want that cookie
*_[White Diamond! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU!?]_*

Dear Diamond #%#%Holes - Don't Kill mother nature ...... You cant eat / Breath /Drink Diamonds....
With every breath you take, you are contributing carbon dioxide to the environment. You can't eat / breathe / drink yourself either. Dear #%#%hole, don't kill mother nature yourself.
Wonder how many diamond get pocketed
It's quite funny that humans are so enchanted by a piece of useless rock.
amarican pirates i think you missed some silver in vancouver harbour
The exceptional, the original, the special, all crushed by those two crushers before anyone can appreciate them. Selecting for the least common denominator-how like big business to marginalize the utterly wonderful in order to maximize production of the merely acceptable. You don't pay enough for sorters at the important points and you lose all the really cool stuff. No wonder such amazement is bestowed on the lucky individual that escapes the crushers. And I bet they fixed those crushers afterward, to make sure a prodigy like that never gets though again. The reason? Discoveries like that lose work hours. That's more important to business than artistic appreciation, or the patience to see it to auction.
Thats a Herkamer diamond??
very nice stone !!!
Can u identify rough diamonds i ve a 60 GM rock with about 50 GM diamonds in it, I never test on lab, it u help than I will do it
Come on... these were ancient mines. Advanced civilizations have been mining here for eons.
Wery nice diamond
tree,coal,diamond,.i think trees more valuable.
you seem ignorant commenting on a machine that required diamond (about 80 percent of diamond is used in industry not jewelry)
Bet that Jacob&Co will get it
We have diamonds bigger that in Lesotho....
Diomand can be lab made for very cheap after all they are just crystalized carbon
Actually it's very expensive to make an artificial diamond right now. But definitely not in the next 50 years or so when it'll probably cost nothing.
Majority of diamond is not jewelry quality (sold at the high price that you know).
80% of diamond is used in industry and it isn't cheaper to mine than to produce synthetic diamond for industry.
the machine you are using depended on diamond.
100 carrots bruh i have more so i buy
You could make a diamond sword outta that
Ilove diamond
That is my dream
To a have a diamonds
Icey. ICE gotta have
It’s a fucking rockkk
Fake diamonds are just as pretty and save a lot of money.
FABULOUSLY 💎
The Mine Diamonds Kid's dream
I still cant believe why people would care for a piece of ROCK. Seriously!
Diamonds are common as mud. It's stated as much in this video.
Do not buy diamonds. Do not subjugate yourself to these cartels.

Have they got any pink
Why do they not just use a x-ray texture pack?
