Lucara Diamond Corp. recovers a 37.42-carat pink Type IIa diamond and a massive 1,019.85-carat white diamond at Botswana’s Karowe mine, reinforcing its position as a leading source of large diamonds.
A 37.42-carat near-gem pink Type IIa diamond was recovered.
A 1,019.85-carat white diamond, classified as non-gem quality, was also unearthed using the company’s Mega Diamond Recovery unit.
This technology enables the extraction of large stones without causing them to break. The 1,019-carat rough is the ninth stone over 1,000 carats from Karowe and the third of that size found this year.
Both stones came from the EM/PK(S) section of the mine.
This area is well-known for producing large and high-value rough diamonds.
It is also the focus of Lucara’s planned underground mining project.
Why does this matter for you?
The Karowe mine has become a global hotspot for record-sized diamonds.
Pink diamonds are among the rarest and most valuable in the world.
Large white diamonds, even if not gem-quality, still hold major significance in the global diamond trade.
Would you consider Botswana’s Karowe mine as the new epicenter for record-breaking diamond discoveries?
