- 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.

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
@@cheetahBeachwood You're a fool
Arthur You really are an idiot
Dan Wally who cares it’s just a lake
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
I’ve come to the comments to see if people are impressed by a massive scam we call diamonds, and everyone is bashing the diamond. I have never been more pleased by the human race🙌🏻
s Boltz how is it a scam exactly? Diamonds (especially ones this size) are incredibly rare. Of course they would be worth a ton.
JakeXD there are thousands if not tens of thousands of diamonds that the diamond companies hold onto, they slowly release them to raise the value or keep it where it is. They’re really smart with it.
JakeXD also, we think they are rare. You have no idea how many of those size diamonds that have been crushed into those buckets in the video🤔
s Boltz diamonds are rare, bud. And the diamond industry is getting better, if you want diamonds that aren’t mind in some African country, buy Canadian.
JakeXD what are you, a spokesman for Canada’s diamond industry?
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.
No one :
Literally no one :
TH-cam recommended : this diamond is a freak
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.
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
I got $17 and some sticks of gum.
You can buy loose rough diamonds for around $10 on ebay, delivery notwithstanding
Rick go back to your pawn shop
eggg
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.
Gemstones like Foxfire are very unique which ultimately drives the price to the new records and investors are willing to pay any price for the 'unique' label. Does that justify mining companies draining water from the lake and thus, alternating the surrounding landscape forever? I'll let you be the judge.
worth it!
@@CodyvBrown yes worth at the expense of a terribly disturbed habitat and a few giant potholes. I mean, yeah if the company is willing to fix it up instead of just leaving it there. Diamonds aren't even that rare or should cost that much to begin with. The company that convinced everyone that diamonds were precious and rarely found, took control of large sources of diamonds and only gave out a small amount just enough for demand driving up prices.
Or they could grow one twice the size in a lab for less than 1/10th the cost.
So unique, they intended to crush it up into smaller pieces
Nice one
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? 😂
A 600 plus carat champayne colored diamond was found on the Bolin brothers claim just out of Baker City, Ore. A certain well known Dutch diamond company has the diamond and refuses to give it back and have threatened the brothers with death if they try to get it.
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?
It's the opposite of the hope diamond. It's lucky instead of cursed.
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?
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
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.
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.
Lots of envious people in the comments. Make sure to wear your hardhat before descending.
Envious of what ? A very common stone that people are tricked into believing its worth something? Ok buddy 😅
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
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
Who else saw the thumbnail and thought a diamond asteroid was gonna hit earth? Ok just me.
I have some rough diamonds uncut 🙏❤️
An old diamond folksfire, Very important in the Canadian large diamond inventory
Looks like a normal chunk of quartz lol
I'll trade you a Happy Meal for it...if I get to keep the burger portion.
So many comments about the worth or worthlessness of a diamond, but you still came to see the video. I wonder just why?
It's worthless but doesn't mean it's not interesting like a golden toilet
Amo Diamantes brutos grande,eles tem uma coisa maravilhosa, só sei que não paro de admira los 💎🇧🇷♥️💎
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
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.
It didn't escape the crushers, it was planted
I don’t have any problems with the industry with one exception. Conflict diamonds. 💎
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.
Funny how common diamonds are yet go for more than anything.
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
🙂😉☺
U can actually make a flawless man made diamond of any size now. 4 all we know this 1 may b man made
"If rock was the most rarest mineral in the world, diamonds would be undesired and cheap"
What would you do with that after you bought it ? Living room Display
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.
The Bear Fire Diamond will be much bigger! 🐻💎
Nice
You want Diamond
6.4 million carats and they cost how much? Supply and demand is controlled by someone.....
@Josh Hockman haha you get it. 👍👊
To the "its just a worthless stone" people..
For one, diamonds hold value because of their nearly indestructible nature. "diamonds are forever" wasn't coined for nothing. Their extreme hardness makes them virtually impervious to scratching, chipping, etc. Whereas cheap jewelry stones like cubic zirconia will scratch and become hideous when the wind blows to hard, diamonds retain their high luster and brilliance basically forever.
Two, its a game for the rich. Set aside the fact diamonds hold a premium thanks to the massive scam via Debeers, diamonds have and always will be the most sought after stone by those who can afford them. Its no different than 500,000$ + supercars. Just because you can't afford them doesn't mean they don't hold the value or significance to those who can. Maybe your toyota Camry, a .25 ct diamond, is affordable, "reasonable", etc.. but if you had the money, why would you not want a 4ct Pagani?
Its all in the perspective of the owner. Its easy for us not in the position to ever have these things to brush them aside as valueless.
You think you are so smart clearly, but you are missing the point that there is a massive abundance of diamonds in the world, that's why they are worthless, there is so much of it but the diamond company's hold it all in storage to keep the value up
@@maxanom6234 you seem to think you're pretty smart but I already hinted at DeBeers and the hidden supply diamond scheme they created ages ago. It doesn't mean they're worthless, and the entire point of this video is the specific rarity of a diamond like this; diamonds like these are LEGITIMATELY rare. They're a big deal, that's why videos are made, that's why only the mega rich are the ones to own them and make royal jewelry with them that last for millenia. Its not like you can go dig a hole in your back yard and find a 50ct chunk of diamond like you can with many other gems.
"Diamonds have and always will be the most sought after"
No dude.
No one wanted diamonds nor thought much of them before the early 1900s.
Especially for engagement rings or other jewelry
The thing is it is common. It's like saying aluminum jewelry is forever.
@@kiredova6328 go outside, dig a hole, and find me a 6ct rough diamond. And why are you comparing an extremely soft and plentiful metal to essentially the hardest substance on earth?
I'll trade it for a cookie.
Ohhh... I reallu want that cookie
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
I don’t get it why are people saying worthless please explain cuz I’m hearing 10 million dollars 😂
Carbon in its purest state diamond.
Lol 😂 the title...I literally laughed out loud. This massive diamond is a freak! Hahahaha
I wish those diamonds are edible
What is love
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me, no more
Yeah, yeah, (woah-woah-woah, oh, oh)
(Woah-woah-woah, oh, oh)
Great question. Here's what I, as a working poet, have to say about it: "Love is a moment of time we cling to, because, for that moment, everything else is meaningless. Life is utterly simplified, reduced to its least common denominator--the impetus to share oneself with an/the object of desire."
Canadian diamonds are special as they can be devoid of any , "Conflict"/ "Blood Diamonds".
Esse diamante é muito grande e lindo 🇧🇷🇧🇷♥️🇧🇷💎💎🇧🇷♥️👍
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.
Fury got robbed
That was funny I've seen that comment a 100 times I bet.
Agree 100%
They’re not worth anything, unless if you’re rich, just remember that people it takes a lot to grade them and get them looked at😅
Muito bom
Best I can do is $250
No, don't cut it.
ill buy it so i can make me a diamond shovel
I have uncut diamond can we do business with then I will send it to you to buy here is my number +233505996901
You want to buy.?
That’s worth like, 47 rotten flesh
I can't be the only one who find diamonds pathetic, really, it's just a ROCK!
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.
*_[White Diamond! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU!?]_*
hey look im the only one with my little brother's pottery blob. it's one of a kind. same value as this rock, whatever the buyer wants it to be.
there’s probs so many diamonds in 3 world country’s but they just don’t have the resources to get them
One Sapphire. All diamonds. Diamonds.
Excellent video!
Soooooo what use is a "diamond"???
It can be used in industry, hardware, and even the smartphone you are using rn.
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
Lol, jokes on you. I have minecraft hacks.
and thus the game steal the diamond was born
It's planted techno diamond product of Silicon carbide,, real diamond are not found there.
very nice stone !!!

If you really cared, you can mine for diamonds and sell them to fund environmental causes....
If you really cared, you can mine for diamonds to fund green initiatives....
If you really cared, you can mine for diamonds to fund charitable or welfare programs......
If you really cared, you would do your best to be rich and use the wealth to make the world a better place. To save the world.
Truth is, you really don't care, or you would replace the word "diamond" in your comment with "I."
Truth is, you don't wanna do anything, so you find easy scapegoats for your own shortcomings.
How lame is it to blame your problems on chunk of mineral?
you seem ignorant commenting on a machine that required diamond (about 80 percent of diamond is used in industry not jewelry)
They should be working on getting energy from this crystalized greed stone,maybe they already gave deemed it useless,but id rather that,than this waste of bandwidth and time,jmo
It's quite funny that humans are so enchanted by a piece of useless rock.
