The largest diamond found so far is the Cullinan diamond. Discovered in South Africa at over 3000 carats. Given to the British monarchy as a gift. Thought to have taken around 3 billion years to form.

CubicAftermath, lead is a metallic element. Perhaps you're thinking of the old alchemists, who believed there was a way to turn lead into gold, if they coukd only discover it...which, of course, is impossible.

CubicAftermath, The pencil "lead" is really graphite. The only lead in them was in the paint.

Taranchalanche, pencils used to be made of lead, I thought.
They removed the lead for obvious reasons

MrOatcake2772, We would like it back to pay all our debts and to give the people a proper share of the proceeds. With NO corruption. A pipe dream

would be more accurate if the question didn't pretend that diamonds are precious

Birdiemom, not impossible a nuclear reactor in Russia made from lead turned partly to gold. because lead and gold are atomically the same bar one atom extra in gold than in lead.

The question is responded by itself. There is only one precious mineral in the options.
