Canada’s Lucara Diamond (TSX:LUC) has unearthed an unbroken 378-carat white gem-quality rock, the second major stone found so far this year at the company’s prolific Karowe mine in Botswana.
The diamond, described by Lucara as “magnificent” and “superb”, was found from milling of ore sourced from the M/PK(S) unit of the mine’s South Lobe. This is the same area where the Vancouver-based miner found an unbroken 341-carat diamond on January 15. Both gems were recovered from the coarse X-ray transmission circuit.
