The diamond which is a 7000-carat light green stone the size of a soccer ball was found in an unknown diamond mine in the North West.

A spokesperson for the mining company that made the discovery, Brett Jolly, says the stone was excavated on Monday. The mining company is part of the property-development firm Two Point Five Group
If the diamond is regarded as legitimate it could fetch a price tag of R218 million rand.
