๐Ÿ’ŽThe world's largest diamond deposit is located in Yakutia, Russia. The "Mir" diamond mine reaches a depth of 535 meters, its upper diameter is 1200 meters, and the length of the spiral road that leads to the very bottom is 7 km and 700 meters.

๐Ÿ’ŽThe mine was opened in 1955. In 1957 the working settlement of Mirny grew up near the diamond-bearing vein. In 1959 Mirny received the city status. The "Mir" quarry produced $17 billion worth of diamonds between 1957 and 2001.

๐Ÿ’ŽThe "Mir" kimberlite pipe largest diamond was found in 1981. It weighs 342.5 carats (68.5 grams).

๐Ÿ’ŽLike any miracle, the "Mir" diamond quarry is overgrown with legends โ€“ it is said that one feels dizzy at the very bottom of the mine, and one begins to experience euphoria when he goes upstairs. People believe that the mine beckons and hypnotizes its visitors, it looks like a bottomless abyss. The quarry is closed for an indefinite period at the moment, but this does not prevent it from being one of the most striking sights of industrial tourism in Yakutia.
