Is there a size limit on diamonds in nature?

Kurt asked:


Diamonds as mined or found seem to always be no bigger than peas. Some have been found that are as big as golf balls or even baseballs. Is there a known or theoretical upper limit on diamond size? Could one be dug up that is as big as a basketball? A car? A house? Bigger?

My husband had a dream about a diamond mine & people bringing him diamonds from it. What does this mean?

Mrs Librarian asked:


He says many people were bringing lots of diamonds out and giving them to him. Even his cousin who died years ago was in the dream asking to share in his wealth. We checked many dream books and they stated contradicting things. Some stated strength and prosperity and others stated someone may be out to get his happiness. Anyone know what this dream may mean and how to interpret it? Serious answers only please.

I have a couple questions for an expert on precious stones, specifically diamonds. I’m not looking to buy or price any. My questions are more directed towards physical properties or characteristics of diamonds.
