Botswana’s Karowe mine famously produces some of the largest diamonds of all time. Roughly half of the ten largest diamonds discovered have been found at the South African site. The most comparable diamond to the new 1,080-carat rock is the 1,109, which was discovered in the Karowe mine in 2015. Other notable finds at the quarry include the 1,758-carat Sewelô , a 1,174-carat diamond .
The newly recovered diamond’s Type IIa classification places it among only one to two percent of rare diamond types. These types of gems are known to have no measurable nitrogen or boron impurities, are oftentimes colorless, and of course very high quality. Experts today believe that more diamonds of this size may have existed but were broken into smaller pieces during the recovery process. Improvements to the tech used for digs has changed over time as a result.
“Lucara is extremely pleased to be reporting the recovery of another large, high-quality gem diamond,” says Eira Thomas, the company’s CEO, in a statement.
