Read summary

What makes the recently discovered 12.76-carat pink diamond from Australia so remarkable?

The discovery of the 12.76-carat Argyle Pink Jubilee diamond marks a historic moment in Australian mining history. Found in the renowned Argyle mine of Western Australia, which produces 90% of the world's pink diamonds, this gem stands as the largest pink diamond ever discovered in the country. The stone will undergo a meticulous 10-day cutting and polishing process, though it may lose up to 50% of its weight during this transformation. Initial estimates value the diamond at over US$1.07 million, with its final worth depending on factors like color intensity and clarity after polishing. The discovery is particularly significant as it may be the last of its kind from the Argyle mine, making it an exceptionally rare find. Like other natural pink diamonds, this gem represents the pinnacle of diamond value and prestige, typically reserved for museums, auction houses, and royal collections.

This remarkable diamond was found in the celebrated Argyle mine, nestled in the East Kimberly region of Western Australia. Known as the "Argyle Pink Jubilee", this diamond is not just the largest pink diamond discovered in Australia, but also a testament to the marvels of nature and craftsmanship. 

 

Contributing to over 90% of the world's pink diamond supply, the Argyle mine sets a high benchmark in the global market. Unearthing this particular gem marks a significant milestone; a culmination of 26 years of dedicated Argyle production. Its rarity underlines the fact that this could be the first and perhaps the last of its kind that the mine will ever reveal. 

 

Approximately ten days will be devoted to meticulously cutting and polishing the diamond into a perfect single stone, reinforcing our commitment to personal service and high-quality natural diamonds.  

 

This extraordinary stone will grace the company's annual Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender later in the year. As per the Australian news outlet, Herald Sun, initial estimates suggest the diamond could be worth upwards of US$ 1.07 million. A rough stone, however, holds much suspense; the true worth will unfold depending on the final size after polishing, as diamonds usually lose about 50% of their weight in this process. Moreover, factors like the intensity of colour and clarity will further determine the final value. 

 

Natural pink diamonds, such as the 12.76 carat pink diamond from Australia, stand as some of the most valuable diamonds in existence. These gems are typically showcased in museums, elegant auction houses, and adorn the hands of royalty, reinforcing their allure and significance. 

 

In conclusion, the 12.76 carat pink diamond, a prestigious find from Australia, exemplifies BAUNAT's dedication to providing high-quality, natural diamonds. Through our careful handcrafted process, we uphold the essence of personal service and celebrate the unveiling of natural beauty.
