507-carat Diamond Found At South African Mine

I wonder who is the owner of this huge diamond if a worker finds it? Anyone knows? It may cost millions of dollars!

If I remember correctly any diamonds found in the mine owned by that company belongs to the company. I believe the workers are searched before being released at the end of the day to make sure they are not taking any diamonds home with them.
