A 196-Carat Diamond

A diamond well beyond the 2-digit carats that most of us are accustomed to has been recovered by Gem Diamonds at the Letseng mine in Lesotho. Did you know that the Lesotho mine also had recorded 3 of the 20 largest diamonds? A 603 carat Lesotho Promise, a 493 carat Letseng Legacy, and a 478 carat Light of Letseng have been recovered at that mine. They sold for $12.4 million, $10.4 million, and $18.4 million respectively.
