A historic discovery in Botswana has captured global attention as a 2,492-carat diamond, one of the largest ever found, was unearthed at the Karowe Diamond Mine by Lucara Diamond Corp.
This colossal gem, extracted using the company’s cutting-edge Mega Diamond Recovery X-ray technology, ranks close to the renowned Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality diamond ever mined. Lucara CEO William Lamb expressed immense pride, stating, “We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond.”
Botswana, a major player in the diamond industry, continues to reinforce its position with such remarkable finds. President Mokgweetsi Masisi was scheduled to view the monumental stone, which has not yet been valued or assessed for quality.
