RAPAPORT... Gem Diamonds has recovered a 125-carat diamond at its Letšeng
mine in Lesotho, bringing the company’s annual haul of 100-carat-plus stones to
15.
It found the high-quality, white, type IIa diamond on
December 20, shortly after unearthing two other stones weighing 101 carats and
71 carats, the miner said last month.
The total number of diamond discoveries above 100 carats beats
the company’s record of 11 in 2015.
Earlier this year, Gem Diamonds recovered the 910-carat
Lesotho Legend, selling it for $40 million in March. It also unearthed a
169-carat stone that month, and unveiled a 357-carat rough in October.
