Australian diamond producer Lucapa Diamond Company Limited recovered an exceptional 101-carat white diamond from the Mothae kimberlite diamond mine in Lesotho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The diamond was measured as D in colour, Type IIa and is the fourth 100-carat-plus diamond recovered from the southern lobe of the Mothae kimberlite pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
