This is one of
the most mysterious diamonds ever. No one knows exactly where it was found, nor when, not even its story or whereabouts and its
owners still remain unknown. Everything around this black diamond is an
enigma. As far as we know this diamond has never even been named. As a result
it turned out usual to call it “the Anonymous” or “the
Nameless”.
The rough stone
weighted 1000 carats which led the diamond to the 2nd place in the
largest stones ever discovered right after The Cullinan
with its 3106 carats. The Nameless is a black diamond, the rarest type of
diamond on earth. Black diamonds are also called “carbonados” and
for some scientists those diamonds do not come from the Earth but from outter space. Investigations showed that black diamonds
are most likely formed in supernovas shockwaves with high pressure and
temperature which are highly graded in hydrogen and carbon. As a result the
pressure and the temperature would be sufficient to create black diamonds aggregates large enough to form an asteroid.
Later on this asteroid of black diamonds would fall on the primitive Earth. (See
: Black
Diamonds come from outer space)
 
The Carbonados
can only be found in two places on Earth, Brazil and Centrafrica,
so The Nameless is very likely to have been found in one of these two
countries. After cutting The Nameless still keeps the amazing weight of
489.07 carats with outstanding measurements 46.88 x 42.28 x 31.25 mm. Way
bigger than his famous brother The
Spirit Of Grisogono weightening
312.24 carats, The Nameless unfortunately does not have the fame it should
deserve.
Its mystery
remains complete and this incredible diamond is often forgotten or left
behind, even placed to the rank of uninteresting diamonds.
The only real
trace in history concerning The Nameless is a transaction in Dole (France)
back in 2001 where it was sold for 1 829 388€ to an
anonymous buyer (as well).
