Gem Diamonds announced the discovery of an exceptional white diamond type IIa, weighing 198 carats, at the Letšeng mine in Lesotho. The diamond was mined in late July.
In a short message from Gem Diamonds, received by Rough & Polished via e-mail, it is said that this high-quality stone does not have fluorescence.
Gem Diamonds expects that the 198-carat diamond will be sold at an exceptionally high price later this year.
