Who Knew?

But there is a diamond larger than the one to be found on Bunny's finger.
The statistics on Lucy [name of the diamond] are impressive - it is estimated to be 10 billion trillion trillion carats.

By comparison, those here on Earth are mere baubles.

The biggest ever found here was a very modest 3,100 carats.

Lucy, meanwhile, is 1,500 kilometres from end to end or an awful lot of engagement rings, necklaces and earrings.
It's just really far away.
