Until this latest diamond was unearthed, Alrosa's largest pink gem ever found weighed just 3.86 carats.

"Alrosa's specialists are currently studying the gem to decide whether to sell it as a rough diamond or cut it into smaller pieces," Evgeny Agureev, head of the ALROSA Sales Organization, said in a press release.

According to Alrosa, we can confirm that this could be the most expensive diamond of all time to be found at Alrosa. Agroev added: "The unique properties of this diamond make it a very valuable gemstone."

Earlier this year, a very large pink diamond, weighing about 59.60 carats, sold at auction in Hong Kong for $71.2 million – the highest price ever paid at auction.
