The mining company is owned mostly by the government (Angolan state) and an Australian company has a share ...

@@issachaarzulu2018 but what do they do to help the locals

@@thrasherfoo employ the local men

Modern slavery

The locals benefit by getting paid to work.

Sadly we will never ever have a chance for it ...

That’s not how things work

no chance

Lol yeah right

I bet the black people in Angola are really happy about the pink diamond. What a lucky break for all of them. So happy for them.

Well why don’t you give them a raise Shawn? I’m guessing you won’t or can’t.

Actually the miner who found the stone I’m sure made quite a good amount.. not millions in USD par-say.. this stone was not just found a couple days ago, it’s just now reaching the states.

I hear the workers usually get a week or so paid off with such a find. Not theirs to own anyways and they get paid pretty well compared to the average salary in nation because it is dangerous work. Usually a cut of the profit is taken by the government as well.

@@Hashdollars Go to bed.

Angola is exploiting itself. There would be no mining for international corporations without government approval and citizens willing to work the mines.

Exploiting a precious land is bad

Who gives a crap about Africa? It's business. You exploit yourself for a paycheck in your never-ending pursuit to pay off your debt.

@@dreamy_daze4 Only poor people say that

@@dreamy_daze4 Why is it "bad"? There is a mismanaged resource. Saudi Arabia and several countries in Middle East have oil and they have figured things out for their citizens. Nobody is exploiting them. In fact, they control supply and demand worldwide. How come Angola does not do that with its natural resources?

How is that? I am Angolan, work in a mine just a couple of miles down this one… country isn’t in war for over 20 years. The diamond has been obtained through the proper means, but how is that a blood diamond

You right , that's a blood diamond, because the people will never get benefit on it , and still dying living in a rich country ruled by a group of thieves...smh

Y'all western folks are so ignorant 🤦🏿‍♂️.... everything is now blood diamond... How foolish can a people be

More like its homeworld

More like it's homeworld- WHAT HOMEWORLD NAAA 💀

So so true! Yes I find some crystals absolutely beautiful and sure I’d pay 10 bucks for one, but to pay millions for a “rock” is plain dum b.

@@KiwikimNZ @Kiwi Tupou The fact that this rock isn't even applicable in a technological standpoint makes it even more pointless. It's just pretty to look at and that's it. Gold and silver are expensive but at least they can be used in electronics and other useful products.

@@marcuscarana9240 yep!

@ljg215 you must have rolled out the wrong side of the bed Mr. Krabs

And everyday they will cut off a finger, Soon you'll have no hands

Let me know how you managed.

They make all the workers go rhrough x-ray machine. Even if you swallow them in hopes to retrieve them later you're screwed

they will get a share of it , something like 2%

​@@exkal3542 not even 2% because that's a large amount of money from something like that with its value. probably like .000000000001%

Clever

😅🤣😂

Oh no 💀 HE FOUND HER

Muito. Bom

Hahahaha, how stupid is your comment.

Lucky man. But depending on the stone and size, you sometimes can tell. She is fortunate in being able to wear fake jewelry though.

What’s fake about Zircon?

A rich woman can wear a fake diamond and get away with it. A poor woman can wear a real diamond and people won't believe it's real. It's all about identity and status.

i believe the exact naming is cubic zirconia, which is not even a stone like actual zircon,,,

The person who found it probably got payed 88 cents for a 15 hour shift.

@@aerystargaryenii2565 lmao facts! 🤣 that's a good one,and won't see finder's fee a day in his life

It can be sold to whoever pays the most.

@@starsfalldown1234567 thats the idea

Y'all are ignorant,the mining company is owned mostly by the Angolan state ( government) and an Australian company ... Therefore it's belongs to the state and they have every right to sell.....

😂

So sad isn’t it. If only we valued a human being as much as some value their diamonds

Ha! like all the other plastic dollar store single use crap humans make is any better? Diamonds are the hardest mineral on the planet. They are very important and useful.

No!

.........BTW , YALL KNOW THAT IF SHE DOESNT HAVE THAT DIAMOND, WERE ALL DEAD ..... IN ALL SERIOUSNESS

Lil Uzi Vert Lol

Men aren't the ones known for cherishing diamonds...

Ok ?

I'll buy you one love.

@@MR_WANG187 that’s sweet of you 🥰

@@JennaSakura I would though ❤😏

Aww poor you......

But they're not millions of years old. Kinda lame

@@CH-ni6vp Lame is the people who become rich off the backs of the poor and the devastating environmental pollution caused by mining, like moving 250 tons of earth to mine a carat, water sources used and polluted. - You should do your research before making such a LAME comment.

You seem upset. You okay?

@@CH-ni6vp Your comment suggests an inability to stay on the topic once facts begin to surface and to coax someone down a rabbit hole of uneducated discussion. Your question is mute.

@@nomercy_AtAll lol. K

They're either dead or living their life in luxury

Because you are poor

To me, it's just a stone that some fans of SU will make jokes about.

Nah, thanks to the Portuguese 💀💀.

Every country is rich. It's our perception that we've been taught that countries are poor. The ppl is what makes a country rich not money or materials.

@@tinospaper2822 you missed my sarcasm. Your view is correct. It is the corrupt leadership which makes African continent so poor else they have everything.

Nah they're getting screwed by everyone exploiting them.

Nah our population is not rich except for some wealthy individuals that work for the government and those who run big multinationals , but our soil is very rich just oi highlight we have large oil reserves too.

Corporate owner's children got new bugatti

Um u can be buried with it lmao

why would you want to take anything with you when you die?

Well you can’t take anything when you die so if you have the money to buy it go for it. It’s like one in a lifetime find and I bet you they won’t find another rock like this until 20 more yrs or so.
