how's that compared with earth? (size of the sun maybe?)
could it fit on my safe (volt)?

"You would need a jeweler's loupe the size of the sun to grade this diamond"

Just wait until p.diddy finds out about it, he's gonna be wearing it around his neck this summer...

The thing has a diameter of 2500 miles. The diameter of Earth is approx. 20.000 miles

the diameter of the earth at the equator is some 8600 miles. The CIRCUMFERENCE of the earth is 20k+ miles at the equator. all they say is it's 2600 miles "across", assuming equatoral diameter (the thing has to be perfectly, or near perfectly spherical due to the immense gravities involved in a star collapsing), so more or less it's approximately 1/4th the diameter of the earth. As to mass, I'm not sure but diamond is a rather dense material so i'm guessing it's extremely heavy and probably exceeds earth's average density (although the core of our planet is probably moreso dense) by a fair margin.

oops, you're right. I was thinking of the fact that it takes you 20000 miles to drive (if possible ) from the North to South Pole
