BOSTON (WHDH) -- Astronomers said they've discovered a new diamond in the sky.

The planet, mostly made of precious stones, is called "55 Cancri-E".

It's estimated to be at least one third diamond and since it's twice the size of earth - that's a lot of bling.

Don't think about moving there just yet. It gets pretty hot - up to 3,900 degrees.
