The 160 ct diamond is the twenty-eighth diamond of more than 100 ct to be recovered at Lulo and was mined from the same alluvial mining block as the “Lulo Rose”, the 170 ct pink coloured diamond recovered in July this year, Lucapa MD and CEO Stephen Wetherall told delegates at Paydirt’s Africa Downunder conference, in Perth.
The 160 ct diamond is the sixth largest recovered at Lulo to date.
Wetherall on Friday told delegates at the conference that Lucapa was working to discover the source of the large stones in Angola.
