A 12.76 carat pink diamond has been excavated from the famous Argyle Argyle Argyle mine in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia! This "Argyle Pink Jubilee" - "Argyle Pink Jubilee" is the largest pink diamond discovered in the country.


The Aguer mine is the world's largest producer of pink diamonds, meaning it is responsible for over 90% of the global market supply. However, this size and weight of diamond is unprecedented. The Aguer mine only produced one such pink diamond for 26 years, and it may even be the first and last pink diamond of this size they will see. It is estimated that it will take approximately ten days to cut and polish this diamond raw stone.



The finished diamond will be sold during the Aguerre Company's annual pink diamond bidding later this year. According to the prediction of the Australian newspaper Herald The Sun, diamonds are worth at least 1.07 million dollars. However, it is difficult to determine the quality of the final diamond from the raw stone. It depends on the weight of the polished carat. During the cutting and polishing process, diamonds will lose at least 50% of their weight. In addition, the intensity and clarity of the color will determine its final value.
