Quote:
The magnificent stone, which originated from the south lobe of Lucara's Karowe Mine, is the world's second largest gem quality diamond ever recovered and the largest ever to be recovered through a modern processing facility. The stone was recovered by the newly installed Large Diamond Recovery ("LDR") XRT machines. The stone measures 65mm x 56mm x 40mm in size and is the largest ever to be recovered in Botswana.

and last but not least

813 carat rough diamond and 374 carat
Quote:
Lucara is pleased to announce that two more exceptional white stones have now been recovered through the XRT diamond recovery units. The two white diamonds, an 813 carat stone and a 374 carat stone, have today been added to the roster of incredible diamonds recovered from the prolific south lobe of Lucara's Karowe mine in Botswana. The weights of the stones are subject to change as these stones have not yet been cleaned. Once cleaned, photos will be published on the Lucara website.
