Lucapa Diamond recovered two +100-carat diamonds on consecutive days last month at its 40%-owned Lulo Mine in Angola.
It said a 162-carat diamond was recovered first, followed by a 116-carat diamond.
Both diamonds were recovered from the terraces of Mining Block 46.
Lucapa said the 116-carat type IIa diamond will be sold via tender at a future date, along with other high-value type IIa diamonds recovered recently, while the 162-carat diamond will be sold as part of the normal run-of-mine sale later this month.
