The Rise Of The Skipperera
Polaris Diamond
The Gahcho Kue mine, in Canada, has yielded its largest diamond since operations began there more than four years ago. The 157.38 carat diamond, described as being of exceptional quality, will be sold later this month at a tender of special size diamond in Antwerp. Canadian miner Mountain Province Diamonds has named the diamond Polaris after the North Star, because of its rare natural blue fluorescence.

Sputnik V Diamond
Alrosa has named a 100-carat light yellow diamond after Russia's COVID-19 vaccine. The diamond is a 100.53 carat flattened octahedron recovered from alluvial deposits in Yakutia. Last September, Sputnik V became the world's first approved coronavirus vaccine. It takes its name from the first Soviet space satellite, launched into space in 1957.
