Aim-listed BlueRock Diamonds says a 12.12 ct diamond recovered at its Kareevlei mine, near Kimberley, in South Africa, in July, has been valued at $104 000.
"This is our fifth diamond recovered with a value of above $100 000.
"Now that we are operating in pure kimberlite again following the development of KV Main, we expect an increasing incidence of higher-value diamonds,” says executive chairperson Mike Houston.
