It's a diamond the size of a coconut!! Twice the size of the Culinan which was previously the largest ever diamond and it weight in at 7000 carats!! How much do you think it will be worth and what do you think will happen with it? Personally i dont think it should be altered in any way, i think it should be a museum piece.

In this instance, it is worth whatever some-one is willing to pay for it (assuming the current owners are willing to sell)
As others have suggested, unless some multi--millionaire is willing to part with massive amounts of money to have 'the worlds biggest diamond, ever', it's likely to be cut into multiple 'only just the biggest diamonds' (after all, why make it too difficult to find, and sell, a larger one ?)
As for putting it into a Museum - well perhaps the Getty Museum or similar has already bid for it :-)

Until it's cut into gems it's worthless. Diamond's only value is as an abrasive and jewelry. Jewels have no intrinsic value (they're useless) but certain material-obsessed people will pay millions for them. The people who own it will no doubt figure out how to make the most out if it. This will likely involve cutting it into a number of gems.

I doubt they'll ever put a monetary value on that stone or any cut stones that come from it.... it's too amazing to be 'de-valued' by putting a price on it!!...
