RAPAPORT... Firestone Diamonds has unearthed a 70-carat white rough stone from
its Liqhobong mine in Lesotho.
“The 70-carat stone was recovered in the northern, low-grade
part of the pit, where the bulk of our mining will take place in the coming
months,” Firestone CEO Paul Bosma said Tuesday.
The stone — which was removed undamaged — follows the miner’s
discovery of a 46-carat white diamond in December. That stone sold for more
than $1 million, Firestone noted.
The company will offer the 70-carat diamond at its next tender, which
will take place in March.
