Lucara Diamond Corp’s Karowe Diamond Mine in Botswana has just unearthed a magnificent 62.7 carat fancy pink diamond. The diamond has been named Boitumelo, meaning ‘joy’ in the local Setswana language. The diamond measures an incredible 26 x 17 x 16mm. This is one of the largest pink diamonds ever found in the world.
The diamond is a high quality Type IIa, fancy pink.
Lucara has also recovered a further three pink diamonds in the same period, they are similar in colour and purity to the Boitumelo. A 22.21 carat stone, 11.17 and 5.05 carat stones. The highlight of these gems is that they have the same colour and purity to the Boitumelo, a sign that more large pink diamonds of the same quality should be found in that area.
The Karowe mine is one of the world's largest producers of high-value diamonds. It processes over 300,000 carats of diamonds annually. So far this year they have unearthed 5 diamonds larger than 300 carats and 12 diamonds larger than 100 carats.
