The mass of the precious stone is 910 carats. As the owner of the Gem Diamonds mine reported on Monday, Jan. 15, the colorless stone is of type IIa, that is, it contains almost no nitrogen or boron impurities.

Such diamonds in the world are less than 1% of production. It is the fifth largest ever found in the world and the largest for Lesotho.

However, Gem Diamonds does not yet disclose plans for this diamond and does not try to estimate its potential value. At the same time, the stock price of Gem Diamonds at the auction in London today jumped by 13%.

Let's remind, the Letseng mine is famous for the size and quality of diamonds. Since 2006, four of the world's 20 largest white diamonds have been found here. A record of them was a diamond Promise Lesotho (Lesotho Promise) for 603 carats.

As reported URA-Inform, Canadian Lucara Diamond last year sold the largest in a century diamond Lesedi la Rona mass of more than 1100 carats for $ 53 million.
