One of the largest diamonds ever to be excavated was discovered in Botswana at a mine owned by Canadian firm Lucara Diamond.
The 2,492-carat diamond is the world’s second-largest finding and comes more than a century after a 3,106-carat gem was found in South Africa in 1905.
“We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492 carat diamond,” William Lamb, president and CEO of Lucara, said in a statement.
“This find not only showcases the remarkable potential of our Karowe Mine, but also upholds our strategic investment in cutting-edge [X-ray Transmission] technology,” he added.
Botswana is one of the world’s biggest diamond producers, accounting for 20% of global production last year, according to GlobalData.
