Lucara Unearths Another Massive Diamond From Botswana Mine
- 472-carat stone one of four 100-plus-carat gems found in 2018
- Last year, Lucara sold 1,109-carat diamond for $53 million
Lucara Diamond Corp. has recovered yet another massive diamond in Botswana, at a site previously owned by giant De Beers.
The 472-carat light brown stone is the third largest found by Vancouver-based Lucara at the Karowe mine. The site has proven a windfall for the Canadian miner which now produces some of the biggest and best diamonds in the world.
