Lucapa Finds 103-Ct and 83-Ct Diamonds at Lulo in Angola

Lucapa Diamond Company has recovered more large diamonds from the Lulo diamond mine in Angola.

The latest stones include diamonds weighing 103 carats and 83 carats, both recovered from Mining Block 8.

"The 103-carat light brown diamond and 83-carat Type IIa diamond continue to evidence the special nature and potential of the Lulo resource," the miner said.

Lucapa said the 103-carat diamond is the ninth 100+ carat diamond recovered to date from Lulo, the largest being the Angolan record 404-carat diamond sold for $16 million in 2016.

The latest large stone recoveries follow the recovery in November 2017 of two exceptional Type IIa D-color gems weighing 129 carats and 78 carats, the firm said.
