Sierra Leone Pastor Unearths Massive 706-Carat Diamond

A Christian pastor working in a Sierra Leone mine has found a 706-carat diamond, which could be the tenth largest ever found. 

The precious stone was found by Emmanuel Momoh, who was working in the Kono region, in the east of the country. 

It will be sold in Sierra Leone in a 'transparent' bidding process to benefit the country, according to a government statement.
