Lucara Diamond Corp. has recovered another mammoth diamond from a mine in Botswana, its second major find in a month.
The latest gem weighed 1,094 carats and was found at the Karowe mine, the company said it a statement. While it’s smaller than the 2,942 carat stone discovered at the same site in August, it is still roughly a third the size of the biggest ever found, the famous Cullinan Diamond of South Africa.
