Diamonds plc is pleased to announce the recovery of a 54 carat intense fancy
yellow, sawable diamond from its Liqhobong Mine in Lesotho. The diamond will go
on sale at the next tender which is scheduled to take place during September
2019.
Paul
Bosma, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The Liqhobong mine has become known
for its fancy yellow stones but this one is the largest we've recovered so far
and is therefore quite special. Although certain segments of the diamond market
are currently struggling, the demand for unique natural stones remains
positive.”
