RAPAPORT... Gem Diamonds has recovered a 114-carat yellow diamond at its
Letšeng mine in Lesotho, the fourth of that color above 100 carats this year.
The miner found the type I stone on Monday, a week after
unearthing a 93.5-carat, high-quality white stone. Two weeks ago, Gem Diamonds
recovered two stones weighing more than 100 carats from the deposit. The miner also
found a similar-sized yellow diamond at the site in August.
The discovery is the 11th diamond over 100 carats this year from
the mine, which is known for its large, high-quality stones. In 2018, Gem
Diamonds retrieved 15 diamonds of that magnitude from Letšeng.
