In the mysterious world of diamond mining, it turns out that some stones are too big to sell.
Canada's Lucara Diamond will have to cut its tennis ball-sized rough diamond to find a buyer, industry insiders say, following Sotheby's failed auction for the world's largest uncut stone last summer.
It's not the ending that William Lamb wanted for his 1,109-carat stone, named "Lesedi La Rona," or "Our Light" in the national language of Botswana where it was mined.
"It's only the second stone recovered in the history of humanity over 1,000 carats. Why would you want to polish it?" said Lucara's chief executive.

As Canada aims to move away from the resource industries that have traditionally fuelled its economy, increased demand for green technologies may in fact benefit one of the country's oldest industries: mining.
No fewer than 14 of the 19 metals and minerals needed to build photovoltaic panels are found here, according to a recent report from Clean Energy Canada, a think tank based at Simon Fraser University. As a result, "Canada could emerge as a key supplier of resources for the buildout of solar power," the report states.
