New record holder in Canada


A new record was recently set in Canada.

What, the most sap from a single maple tree, you ask?  Or the most poutine consumed at a single sitting?  Perhaps the most penalty minutes in a single youth hockey game?

No, nothing so mundane as that.  Canada now has a record for the largest diamond found in the country, and it's a LOT bigger than the previous record.   For the record, the previous biggest-diamond-in-Canada was 187.7 carats;  this one (found in the Northwest Territories) is 552 carats.  Not bad at all.
