JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Gem Diamonds has recovered a 114 ct, D colour type II diamond of exceptional quality from its Letšeng mine, in Lesotho.

The Letšeng mine is known for producing large, top colour, exceptional white diamonds, making it the highest dollar-per-carat kimberlite diamond mine in the world.

Since Gem Diamonds' acquisition of Letšeng in 2006, the mine has produced four of the 20 largest gem-quality white diamonds ever recorded.
