JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Petra Diamonds on Tuesday announced the recovery of an exceptional 29.6 ct blue diamond at the Cullinan mine, in South Africa.

The stone was an outstanding vivid blue with extraordinary saturation, tone and clarity, and had the potential to yield a polished stone of great value and importance.

“Blue diamonds are among the rarest and most highly coveted of all diamonds and the Cullinan mine is the most important source of blues in the world,” Petra said in a statement, adding that this stone was one of the most exceptional stones recovered at Cullinan during Petra's operation of the mine.
