The Hope diamond is the world's largest deep blue diamond. AT 45.52 carats, it is classified as a type IIb diamond. The diamond's blue coloration is attributed to trace amounts of boron in the stone.

Saw that in DC and it's pretty big for a deep blue diamond. The largest diamond ever discovered was actually found in South Africa in 1905. Before it was cut into hundreds of smaller gems(most found on the British Crown Jewels) it weighed more than 4000 carats. Recently in the same mine a diamond of almost 500 carats was found. This diamond, however, has an especially high level of clarity and clearness. It is valued at over 15 million dollars.

In 1911, the Hope diamond was sold to Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean of Washington, D.C., after it was mounted on a headpiece and surrounded by three tiers of white diamonds. Sometime later, Mrs. McLean had it reset as a pendant.
