Hennig Tenders, a leading independent international diamond tender operator – and part of the I. Hennig & Co. Group – yesterday announced two forthcoming tenders of rough diamonds.

One will be of what the Company called “an exquisite selection of special rough single stones” recovered by Batla Minerals SA from their Superkolong diamond tailings plant in Kimberley, South Africa.

Included in this lot is an exceptional 112 carat natural fancy rough stone of yellow colour; and several other natural fancy rough stones of yellow colour ranging from three to fifty carats. 

Hennig Tenders announced a schedule for the viewing of these stones at various locations as follows:

“Once again, we are very pleased by the exquisite rough diamonds recovered from our Superkolong operations, and we look forward to the years of recovery still ahead,” commented Batla Minerals SA’s CEO, Jean Retief. “Originally mined by DeBeers, this area is internationally known for producing exceptional yellow diamonds.”

Hennig Tenders Chief Executive Director, David Kuchler expressing his “delight” with their continuing association with Batla Minerals SA said: “The special stones on offer at the upcoming tender are truly magnificent and very much unique in terms of their gemmological characteristics.”
