Miners have stumbled upon the largest pink diamond found in 300 years, and it could sell for tens of millions.
The awestruck miners unearthed the 170 carat diamond during excavations at the Lulo mine in Angola, an Australian-operated site in the southern region of Central Africa.
The raw stone may diminish in size once it's cut and polished - the process can sometimes reduce the size by 50 per cent - but the "Luso Rose" has still caught the attention of many due to its spectacular and unique colour.
Pink diamonds have, in the past, sold for over £58million at auction, and it's likely this one will be bought by another wealthy international buyer, the MailOnline reports.
On the discovery, Mineral Resources Minister Diamantino Azevedo said: "This record and spectacular pink diamond continues to showcase Angola as an important player on the world stage for diamond mining and demonstrates the potential and rewards for commitment and investment in our growing diamond mining industry."
The diamond is the 27th stone of over 100 carats to be found in Angola's diamond rich northeast and the fifth largest ever to be found at the site.
The record, however, for the largest diamond ever discovered was an eyewatering 404 carats.
It was later named the '4th February Stone', while the 'CTF Pink Star' holds the current record for the highest price paid for a pink diamond at auction, with the 59.6 carat stone selling in Hong Kong for £59million five years ago.
For those who may have enjoy owning their own expensive jewellery - although perhaps at a fraction of the prices mentioned above - there is a cheap hack to help clean your silver.
Cleaning and lifestyle influencer Sophie Hinchcliffe – better known as Mrs Hinch – is widely praised for sharing her clever cleaning tips and tricks on social media and TV.
Over on Facebook, user Debbie Jane asked the cleaning queen's followers how best to spruce up some silver jewellery.
“I’ve used jewellery-cleaning dips and cleaning cloths. Can anyone help me, and advise me what I should use?” she said.
Debbie’s post quickly attracted almost 100 comments from eager fellow cleaning enthusiasts, and the answer most came up with was refreshingly simple – use toothpaste.
Gillie Barry said: “Use toothpaste and scrub with an old toothbrush, then wash in soapy water. Or buy a silver cleaner.”
Liz Marsland replied: “Toothpaste and a cotton cloth to buff up.”
And Margaret Edwards agreed that toothpaste and a toothbrush will clean it up, adding: "I had a silver bracelet - it always goes black and this works."
