A 370-carat type II white diamond has been unearthed from Gem Diamonds’ Letšeng mine in Lesotho.

Just last week, the company announced, from the same site, the recovery of a high-quality type II white diamond, weighing 254 carats.

Since acquiring Letšeng in 2006, Gem Diamonds has discovered more than 60 white gem quality diamonds larger than 100 carats from the site.
