London—The year may be coming to a close, but Gem Diamonds’ recoveries sure aren’t slowing down.
This is the fifteenth diamond weighing more than 100 carats that Gem Diamonds has recovered in 2018.
The news came just a day after the miner put out a news release that it had recovered two more significant diamonds—101-carat and 71-carat white Type IIa stones—within a 24-hour period from Letšeng.
The company claims the mine is the highest dollar-per-carat kimberlite diamond mine in the world.
This year, it also produced a 357-carat light brown diamond in the fall, a 169-carat diamond of “top white color” in March and an exceptional quality 910-carat, D color Type IIa diamond in January, among others.
Gem Diamonds said that 2018 has set a new record for the miner for most 100-plus carat diamonds recovered in a year-period.
