Tania 8


The Millennium Star is the tenth biggest diamond in the world. Diamonds are weighed in carats and this diamond weighs 203.04 carats. It was found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1990. After 5 months of studying, they cut it into 3 pieces and this is the largest piece. No one knows how much the Millennium Star is worth, but it has been insured for 100 million pounds. This is said to be only a fraction of what it is really worth.
