A gigantic diamond, the largest found in over a hundred years, was recently discovered at the Karowe Mine in Botswana. Weighing an impressive 2,492 carats, it is now acknowledged as the second-largest diamond ever retrieved from a mine. President Mokgweetsi Masisi of Botswana presented this remarkable stone at his office, expressing, “It is overwhelming. I am fortunate to have witnessed it in my time.”

The diamond, unearthed by Lucara Diamond Corp., a Canadian mining company, is classified as an “exceptional” and “high-quality” rough stone that was found intact through X-ray technology. Lucara’s President and CEO, William Lamb, expressed delight at the discovery, stating, “We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond.” This gem exceeds the Sewelo diamond, which was previously the second largest mined diamond at 1,758 carats, found in the same mine in 2019.

As the world’s second-largest natural diamond producer, Botswana has yielded some of the most significant gems recently, with the Karowe Mine being particularly distinguished. Over the past decade, it has produced multiple large diamonds exceeding 1,000 carats, including the 1,111-carat Lesedi La Rona diamond and The Constellation, which fetched a record $63 million in 2016.

At this time, officials have yet to establish the value or sales method for the newly found diamond. The Cullinan Diamond, the largest mined diamond at 3,106 carats discovered in South Africa in 1905, still holds that title. Meanwhile, Botswana’s mining sector continues to attract attention for its extraordinary discoveries.
