Firestone Diamonds is set to sell a 215-carat rough diamond found at its Liqhobong diamond mine in Lesotho.
The white makeable diamond marks a significant achievement for Liqhobong, being the largest of its quality ever found at the mine, the company said.
The diamond is up for sale through a competitive bidding tender process with viewings available in Antwerp, Belgium, and Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
“This sale represents another milestone in our ongoing efforts to deliver value to stakeholders while maintaining the highest industry standards,” it said.
“This diamond is another shining example of the calibre of diamonds sourced from the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.”
