A big blue diamond has been found at a South African mine known for churning out famous diamonds, and the stone could be worth tens of millions of dollars.
The diamond, extracted from the Cullinan mine near Pretoria, is 29.6 carats.
Larger blue diamonds "can sell for over $1 million a carat," diamond expert Russell Shor told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday morning.
