The second-largest diamond ever found - a rough 2,492-carat stone - has been unearthed in Botswana at a mine owned by Canadian firm Lucara Diamond.

It is the biggest find since the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond, found in South Africa in 1905 and cut into nine separate stones, many of which are in the British Crown Jewels.

The questions are what will it yield and how will it be cut.

Every Cullinan diamond is a masterpiece. This one will be cut with modern technology and as to what the diamonds will look like we'll have to wait and see.
