The Latest Diamond Find Could End up Being The World's Largest Polished Piece Of Ice
Labels: The Latest Diamond Find Could End up Being The World's Largest Polished Piece Of Ice

Above: At 3,106 carats, the Cullian Diamond was the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found but the biggest polished stone produced from it, the Great Star of Africa - 530 carats - is a teardrop shape.
Above: The Koh-i-noor is a round cut but at 105 carats it is smaller than the potential size of the new find. It originated in India but was seized by Britain as a spoil of war in 1849. It supposedly brings good luck to female owners and misfortune or death to any male who wears or owns it.
A bit about the Letšeng Mine in Lesotho:

Letšeng Diamonds Proprietary Limited is owned 70% by Gem Diamonds and 30% by the Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho. Operated by De Beers between 1977 and 1982, Letšeng reopened operations in 2004 and was acquired by Gem Diamonds in 2006.
The average elevation at the mine is 3,100m above mean sea level, making it the highest diamond mine in the world. The mine consists of two adjacent primary near vertical kimberlite pipes the Satellite and Main, with confirmed vertical depths of 495m and 655m respectively. The average grade of these resources is 1.72 carats per hundred tons (cpht). With approximately 14% of all stones being larger than 10.8 carats (ct), the production profile is more akin to that of an alluvial than kimberlite mine.
The average price per carat achieved at Letšeng in 2007 was US$1 997 per ct, relative to an industry average of US$81 per ct. As such Letšeng is a remarkable mine producing some of the world’s remarkable diamonds including large gem quality diamonds that sell for the highest per carat price of any kimberlite mine.

Historically 81% of Letšeng's revenue is from large diamonds (+10.8 ct) and 90% of the diamonds recovered are gem quality with a significant proportion graded as D colour.
Some of the world's largest diamonds have been produced at Letšeng. Of note is the 601ct Lesotho Brown in the mid 1960s (world’s 16th largest diamond ever recovered), the 603ct Lesotho Promise recovered in August 2006 (15th largest diamond) and the 493ct Letšeng Legacy recovered in September 2007 (18th largest recovered).

Letšeng Diamonds markets all its diamonds through a tender process in Antwerp. The Lesotho Promise sold by Gem Diamonds in Antwerp for US $12.4 million and the Letšeng Legacy for US $10.4 million.

How the African Diamond Trade Works
New technology to facilitate accurate mapping of ‘inclusions in almost any rough diamond’
Current methods may take hours, if not days, to perform this painstaking task and, even then, results are highly dependent on the operator’s skill, with human error remaining a cardinal factor, says Sarin Technologies CEO Uzi Levami.
He adds that the new service will first be offered in Israel and India, where diamond manufacturers have already been testing the company’s new scanner and are excited about the results. “Following Israel and India, we expect to gradually be offering these services in other diamond manufacturing centres worldwide.”
“Diamond manufacturers will be able to obtain this service with- out committing to large investments in capital equipment,” says Levami.
For the first time ever in the diamond industry, a scanner is available that can “accurately, quickly and automatically” detect and map all inclusions regardless of their type, size and location within the rough diamond, he adds. Sarin expects the Galaxy 1000 to change not only diamond manufacturing, but also trad- ing. Levami explains that frosted and lightly coated rough diamonds, commonly traded speculatively owing to their obscure internal structure, can now be fully mapped and, “in effect, demysti- fied”.
Lay-offs backfire, dearth of workers in diamond market
"This crisis is different. There is a lot of work, but shortage of workers. We are willing to pay more to hire them," said the diamond industrialist.
Surat's diamond polishing units wore a deserted look just a few months back. Now, at least 30 per cent of them have started functioning again. But a sizable chunk of the four lakh workers who were laid off earlier, have not returned, as they have found jobs elsewhere.
"We are making all attempts to bring back workers from their native places," said diamond unit owner, Harsh Sanghvi.
What has led to this turn around in fortunes is with most polished diamond stocks exhausted, there is now demand for more. Industrialists are buying rough diamonds as prices have bottomed out. And the recovery of the stock markets, has helped increase cash flow.
"The local situation has improved considerably and the demand too has increased. People can now say 'Diamonds are Forever'," said regional chairman, GJEPC, Chandrakant Sanghvi, .
With the diamond industry showing signs of glitter again, Surat once again has a chance to get back on the diamond industry's map. But only if its lifeblood - the workers, return home to their highly skilled jobs.
Hyderabad is the Fastest Growing Diamond Market!
The group also deals with gold, silver and pearls apart from diamonds. But due to obvious reasons, it’s more known for its exquisite diamond collection. The gold retail sector too has been lent a touch of innovation by Meena Jewelers. “We are the only dealers who guarantee lifetime, 100% buy back of ornaments without deflating the value or price. We calculate on the basis of current prices when buying back and that makes a lot of difference to the customers” adds Mr. Jethwani.
All the gold, silver and pearl products retailed from Meena Jewelers are given shape in their own factories located in Mumbai and Hyderabad. When quizzed about the group’s critical success factors, he quips “The range we offer is mind boggling and literally unmatched. The transparency mechanism which enables customers to evaluate the true worth of whatever they are investing on and our buy back guarantee have helped us in a big way. Above all, our personal equation with most of our customers, some of who have been with us for generations together, gives us a distinct identity.” After all, it does pay to leverage a 70 year old legacy.

Diamond & Sapphire Owl Brooch
Well, I’m much (much) older and (a little) wiser now, so I think I’ve earned the right to wear my old mascot proudly. And since I don’t wear stonewashed jeans or layered socks anymore, I don’t have to do it in a way that makes me look like a dork.
Tiffany & Co. Sapphire and Diamond Owl Brooch
This adorable brooch by Tiffany & Co. shows so much more than school spirit. This brooch oozes class (thanks to the simple, but still adorable, design), fashion sense (owls are so in right now), and luxury (what part of“Tiffany & Co.” did you not understand?).
