On July 4, Alrosa, the Russian mining giant has unearthed a diamond that bears a resemblance to a soccer ball. The 0.50-carat stone was found at the company’s Karpinskaya-1 pipe, located in the northern Arkhangelsk Region and operated by the miner’s subsidiary Severalmaz.
"Nature creates different whimsical shapes, but it’s the first time that we came across a diamond looking just like a soccer ball,” a spokesperson for the Russian miner said in a statement.
