Experts believe that the Type 11b gem could be one of the most significant blue diamonds ever mined.The stone, which is currently being analyzed, was described by the mining company as “a 41.82 carat Type IIb blue diamond of seemingly exceptional quality in terms of both its colour and clarity” in a release sent out January 13. Blue diamonds are amongst the rarest gemstones on earth, and owe their unusual and highly prized color to the presence of boron, which absorbs warmer tones.
