How much does the largest diamond ever discovered anywhere weigh?

I read an article that a diamond "roughly twice the size of the Cullinan diamond" was found.  The Cullinan diamond weighs approximately 621 grams.  So, I am guessing approximately 1242 grams.

Now, my turn for correctly guessing okarol's question.

Can you name a moon in our solar system that rotates its planet in the opposite direction?

Not even close, David!

Astronomers discovered the largest diamond of all times in space. The weight of the precious stone reportedly makes up ten billion trillion trillion carats or five million trillion trillion pounds.
 
The space diamond is virtually an enormous chunk of crystallized carbon, 4,000 kilometers in diameter. The stone is located at a distance of 50 light years from Earth, in the Constellation Centaurus.

Scientists believe that the diamond is the heart of an extinct star that used to shine like the Sun. Astronomers have already dubbed the space diamond as Lucy in a tribute to the Beatles song ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.’

I read about it in this month's Smithsonian - just thought that was too cool.

Back to the moon question - I used to know this - but can't think of the darn name now!

I guess you did say discovered "anywhere".  I should have taken that as a great big hint!  Great story!  Now, if we could just get our hands on it. . .

On to the moon question. . .

Phoebe orbits Saturn in a direction opposite that of the planet's larger moons, as do several of the recently discovered moons.

Correct, okarol! 

I was actually thinking of Neptune's moon Triton, but there are several others as you mentioned.
