A 2,492-carat diamond, the second-largest ever discovered, was unearthed at Botswana‘s Karowe Mine by Lucara Diamond Corp, marking a historic moment for the country.
The discovery, made possible by advanced X-ray technology, places this gem just behind the legendary Cullinan Diamond, found in 1905.
Botswana’s President Masisi celebrated the find, which has sparked discussions about the nation’s vast natural resources and their potential economic impact.
Estimated to be worth between $40 million and $200 million, the diamond has already boosted Lucara Diamond Corp’s share price by 40%.
Weighing nearly half a kilogram, this exceptional gem not only underscores Botswana’s rich diamond reserves but also promises significant economic benefits for the nation.
The find has further solidified Botswana’s position as a leading player in the global diamond industry.
