RAPAPORT... Gem Diamonds has unearthed its fourth 100-carat-plus diamond this year from its Letšeng mine in Lesotho.
The discovery of the D-color, type IIa stone follows
the recovery of a 910-carat, D-color diamond from Letšeng last week, believed to
be the fifth-largest rough in history. The miner also uncovered two D-color
stones weighing 117 carats and 110 carats earlier this month.
Last year, Gem Diamonds began extracting ore from a
higher-grade part of Letšeng, resulting in an increase in its recovery of large stones.
