RAPAPORT... Gem Diamonds has found a 114-carat rough diamond at its
Letšeng mine in Lesotho, the miner reported Friday.
The discovery of the D-color, type-II stone follows a drop
in recovery of large diamonds at the mine, which yielded only five stones above
100 carats last year compared with 11 in 2015.
The deposit is one of the highest-value in the world by
average price per carat, producing four of the 20 largest gem-quality white diamonds in history since Gem
Diamonds acquired it in 2006.
