Golconda Diamond
One of the biggest diamond hauls in history would be the Golconda Diamonds. Most of them hail from mines in Telangana and the Kollur Mine in Andhra Pradesh. The gems had all been cleaned, processed, cut, and sold in Hyderabad. Overall, the Golconda Diamonds are made up of 12 million carats and are worth $30.8 million. In 2013, they found a 118-carat perfect colorless diamond at a Hong Kong auction. This set a new world record for the highest diamond price at any auction, besting the Graff Vivid Yellow.

The Graff Pink Diamond
In the African Kingdom of Lesotho, the Graff Pink Diamond was discovered. It is remarkable because it has a “fancy intense” pink shade, which is a rarity among diamonds. The Graff Pink boasts 24.78 carats. American jeweler Harry Winston once owned it. This is considered a Type IIa Diamond, which put it in the top 2 percent of the diamonds in the world. It stayed unnamed until it made its way to the hands of Laurence Graff, who owned Graff Diamonds. This gem is worth an incredible $54.78 million.
