RAPAPORT... Lucapa Diamond Company recovered a 104-carat, D-color
diamond at its Lulo mine in Angola.
The type-IIa stone is the fourth rough diamond above 100
carats extracted from the deposit this year and the fifth since operations
began. The diamond is the latest in a string of “special” diamonds from Lulo weighing
more than 10.8 carats.
Earlier this month, Lucapa unveiled
a 38.6-carat pink diamond, the mine’s largest pink diamond to date. The company
discovered
53 “specials” in the first half – including the largest
diamond in Angola’s history – and a further 59 in July alone.
