| The World's Second Biggest Diamond Has A New Name: "Lesedi La Rona." by mosesukpong: 2:59pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
It means "Our Light" in Setswana, the national language of Botswana, the southern African nation where the 1,111 carat stone was found in November. Lucara(LUCRF), the Canadian company that owns the diamond, called it the biggest diamond found in more than 100 years. The discovery sent the company's shares soaring. Lucara ran a public competition to find a perfect name for the stone. It picked "Lesedi La Rona" from more than 11,000 entries it received. It even hired Ernst & Young to ensure transparency of the naming process. "Lesedi La Rona" symbolizes the pride and history of the people of Botswana," William Lamb, the CEO of Lucara said. "The outpouring of pride and patriotism shown by all the participants in the contest was incredible."
