Vancouver-based Lucara Diamond Corp., has unearthed two more rare blue diamonds at its Karowe Mine in Botswana.
“The recovery of the 4.77-carat blue diamond brings the total number of blue diamonds recovered in the past few months to four,” said Lucara chief executive officer (CEO) William Lamb.
“The re-occurring recovery of these exceptionally rare and sought-after stones is highly significant and confirms the quality of the diamonds produced from the Karowe Mine.”
The second diamond weighs .2 carats.
The company—which wholly owns the Karowe Mine—says it is considering sale options for the stones. It recently sold a 9.46-carat blue diamond from the same mine for $4.5 million.
