Australia unearths its largest pink diamond ever

What do you do when you pull a giant pink diamond out of the earth? You tweet it, of course! Mining giant Rio Tinto excitedly tweeted the discovery of its 12.76-carat rock, named the Argyle Pink Jubilee after the mine where it was found.

There are big bucks in big diamonds and our bet is that Rio hopes this stone will fetch a price in line with the eye-watering $46 million London jeweler Lawrence Graff paid for the 24.78-carat diamond he named The Graff Pink in 2010.

Maybe Jessica and Justin should have postponed buying that engagement ring.
