Gem Diamonds recovers 100.5 Ct diamond

Gem Diamonds Limited recovers  a 100.5 carat, top white colour Type IIa diamond from the Letšeng mine in Lesotho, the highest dollar per carat kimberlite diamond mine in the world. This recovery is the eleventh diamond of over 100 carats in 2018.

 

Letšeng demonstrates broad scale consistency year on year in terms of price and average stone size for each of the kimberlite domains, the objective of the resource development programme is to gather data on local variability within each domain to improve large stone predictability and calibrate expectations of what each domain and sub domain can reasonably be expected to yield in terms of grade, average stone size, number of +100 carat stones and average price.
