Diamond miner Lucapa Diamond Company has recovered a 64 ct diamond from its Mothae kimberlite mine, in Lesotho.

The Type IIa D-colour gem is considered to be the most exceptional individual diamond recovered from the Mothae mine to date, Lucapa MD Stephen Wetherall said last week.

“The recovery of this exceptional 64 ct gem also represents a great start to our mining campaign in the higher margin zones in the southern pit at Mothae,” Wetherall said.
