The diamond is 170 carats, which is equivalent to a weight of about 34 grams. It is a diamond of the rare type ‘IIa’, which means that it is the purest type.
The gemstone will be sold at an international auction. The government of Angola is involved as a partner in the mine of the find and will thus benefit from the sale. To determine the full value of ‘The Lulo Rose’, the diamond must first be cut and cut. In doing so, half of the weight can be lost.
The most expensive diamond sold to date is the ‘Pink Star’, at 59.6 carats. It was auctioned in 2017 for 71 million dollars (about 70 million euros).
