RAPAPORT... Firestone Diamonds has recovered a 54-carat, intense-fancy-yellow
rough diamond at its Liqhobong mine in Lesotho, it reported Monday.
The sawable stone, the largest of its color Firestone has unearthed, will go on sale at the company’s next
tender, which is due to take place in September. The miner’s special-stone discoveries this year have included a white diamond weighing 70 carats, a 72-carat yellow (of lesser quality), a 22-carat
white, and an 11-carat, fancy-light-pink diamond.
“The Liqhobong mine has become known for its fancy-yellow
stones, but this one is the largest we’ve recovered so far, and is therefore
quite special,” said Firestone CEO Paul Bosma. “Although certain segments of
the diamond market are currently struggling, the demand for unique natural
stones remains positive.”
