Actually the miner who found the stone I’m sure made quite a good amount.. not millions in USD par-say.. this stone was not just found a couple days ago, it’s just now reaching the states.
I hear the workers usually get a week or so paid off with such a find. Not theirs to own anyways and they get paid pretty well compared to the average salary in nation because it is dangerous work. Usually a cut of the profit is taken by the government as well.

“Diamonds that come from Zimbabwe and Angola are particularly problematic. Watchdog groups have documented human-rights abuses in and around mines in those countries, though exports from both nations are allowed under the Kimberley Process-another loophole in the system.”
Wow! I just recently last month got into a fascination with Minerals and gemstones, and to see this in my lifetime absolutely amazing!! Absolutely amazing!
How is that? I am Angolan, work in a mine just a couple of miles down this one… country isn’t in war for over 20 years. The diamond has been obtained through the proper means, but how is that a blood diamond
You right , that's a blood diamond, because the people will never get benefit on it , and still dying living in a rich country ruled by a group of thieves...smh
No the correct term is extortion,that diamond stays and belongs where it was found,not later on in the u.s.a somewhere in a museum,taking credit like "ooo look what "we" discovered",I wonder why i don't see headlines and reports of it being found in its homeland and the person that found it
Y'all are ignorant,the mining company is owned mostly by the Angolan state ( government) and an Australian company ... Therefore it's belongs to the state and they have every right to sell.....
Ha! like all the other plastic dollar store single use crap humans make is any better? Diamonds are the hardest mineral on the planet. They are very important and useful.
A rich woman can wear a fake diamond and get away with it. A poor woman can wear a real diamond and people won't believe it's real. It's all about identity and status.
Diamonds can now be grown in a lab at a fraction of the cost of earth-mined diamonds with little environmental impact or human loss of life. -- and before you post a reply - do a search on "lab-grown diamonds." Lab diamonds are identical to natural diamonds.

@@tinospaper2822 you missed my sarcasm. Your view is correct. It is the corrupt leadership which makes African continent so poor else they have everything.
Nah our population is not rich except for some wealthy individuals that work for the government and those who run big multinationals , but our soil is very rich just oi highlight we have large oil reserves too.
Well you can’t take anything when you die so if you have the money to buy it go for it. It’s like one in a lifetime find and I bet you they won’t find another rock like this until 20 more yrs or so.
I hope the people of Angola can see the profits of this stone
Sadly we will never ever have a chance for it ...
That’s not how things work
no chance
Lol yeah right
I bet the black people in Angola are really happy about the pink diamond. What a lucky break for all of them. So happy for them.
It was mined by a European mining company in Angola. Meaning the Europeans not the locals will benefit from the sale of the diamond.
The mining company is owned mostly by the government (Angolan state) and an Australian company has a share ...
@@issachaarzulu2018 but what do they do to help the locals
@@thrasherfoo employ the local men

The locals benefit by getting paid to work.
And while businessmen will make millions off of this, the people who actually worked to mine it will probably never see a cent of the profits. Hell, they'll never even get a raise
Well why don’t you give them a raise Shawn? I’m guessing you won’t or can’t.

Anyone else find naming a diamond marketing company Sodiam to be hilarious? No? Just me? Okay.
Imma name mine Carben.
Clever
😅🤣😂
In the tumbnail i genuinely thought it was an image of a crusty heel of a foot
Well whomever mined it will never see the funds... It is so fucked up.
they will get a share of it , something like 2%
@@exkal3542 not even 2% because that's a large amount of money from something like that with its value. probably like .000000000001%

Hi there I have a couple stones I found just like this one you have shown here what is a value of the items
Just imagine if people put the resources that they waste on useless diamonds into actual people
So sad isn’t it. If only we valued a human being as much as some value their diamonds
Ha! like all the other plastic dollar store single use crap humans make is any better? Diamonds are the hardest mineral on the planet. They are very important and useful.
Amazing pink diamond.
Man I would be pocketing little diamonds everyday 😂
And everyday they will cut off a finger,
Soon you'll have no hands
Let me know how you managed.
They make all the workers go rhrough x-ray machine. Even if you swallow them in hopes to retrieve them later you're screwed
i have a stone like that its bigger than that and it reflect inside when i tried to light up its glowing
Le Pink Panther.
Beautiful all that material & in-between it ALL you find gem stones
I’m sure it’s cursed for whatever reason
😂
I love how people are bashing these companies but don't even know the exaggerated expenses and costs associated with mining to begin with
My gf likes fake jewelry like zircon...looks the same and nobody can tell it's not expensive.
Hahahaha, how stupid is your comment.
Lucky man. But depending on the stone and size, you sometimes can tell. She is fortunate in being able to wear fake jewelry though.
What’s fake about Zircon?
A rich woman can wear a fake diamond and get away with it. A poor woman can wear a real diamond and people won't believe it's real. It's all about identity and status.
i believe the exact naming is cubic zirconia, which is not even a stone like actual zircon,,,
I went to Angola and spent 10 years there, its amazing they found a gem in that hell hole, don't go to prison guys
