The International Gemological Institute (IGI) has analysed and graded a 35.00-carat laboratory-grown diamond (LGD), the largest to date. Produced by Maitri Lab Grown Diamonds (Maitri), the new record holder was polished into an emerald cut measuring 23.37 x 15.24 x 9.06 mm.

The Type IIa rough crystal from which it was fashioned was grown using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process.
