Eureka Diamond, Historic diamond exhibition at Mine Museum in Kimberley, South Africa.
The Eureka Diamond, weighing 10.73 carats after cutting, displays a cushion-shaped brilliant form with a brownish-yellow color.
In 1867, children discovered the first diamond of South Africa near Hopetown, leading to the transformation of the region into a mining center.
The diamond represents the beginning of South African mineral wealth and initiated substantial changes in the economic structure of the region.
Visitors can examine this important gemstone at the Mine Museum in Kimberley, where it remains on permanent public display.
The stone underwent transformation from its original 21.25 carats to 10.73 carats through precise cutting techniques in London during the 1800s.
