Lucara names 2 488 ct and 1 094 ct diamonds
Canada-headquartered Lucara Diamond Corp has named the 2 488 ct diamond recovered at its Karowe mine, in Botswana, in August Motswedi, which means a water spring or the flow of underground water that emerges to the surface offering life and vitality in the local Setswana language.
It has also named the 1 094 ct diamond recovered at the mine in September Seriti, which means aura or presence in Setswana.
“We are incredibly proud to announce the naming of two extraordinary diamonds recovered from our Karowe mine. The Motswedi, an epic 2 488 ct stone, and the Seriti, a remarkable 1 094 ct diamond, represent pivotal moments in Lucara's commitment to discovering and preserving extraordinary geological treasures.
"These diamonds are not just geological phenomena; they are a testament to the incredible potential of the Karowe mine and Lucara's innovative approach to diamond recovery. Each stone tells a story millions of years in the making, and we are humbled to be the custodians of these remarkable gems as they prepare to enter the global market.
"We look forward to the next stages of their journey, confident that the Motswedi and Seriti will continue to inspire wonder and admiration around the world,” Lucara president and CEO William Lamb comments.
These diamonds are two of six diamonds weighing more than 1 000 ct to be recovered at the Karowe mine since Lucara started operations. The mine has delivered a number of the world's largest diamonds to ever be recovered.
