Hi all,

wenn man den welche findet!

Lucara Diamond Corp., Vancouver, Kanada, hatte heuer sprichwörtliches Schwein gehabt und buddelte in Botswana einen 1,111 Karat Diamanten aus. Größter Fund seit dem 'Star of Africa' im Jahr 1905.

Was geschieht nun mit dem Stein...

"Typically, a jeweller such as Graff Diamonds Corp or a group of investors would buy the gem and use computerised scanning technology to decide how to most profitably cut the stone into several pieces and mount them in jewellery, according to Maurice Mason, a mining analyst at Stifel Nicolaus Europe Ltd in London.

Graff is the most prolific buyer of big stones, including Gem Diamonds’s Lesotho Promise, for which it paid US$12.4 million.

Graff cut it into 26 flawless diamonds, including a 76.4 carat pear-shaped gem, and fashioned them into a single necklace. The necklace hasn’t yet been sold. The Cullinan was cut by hand into nine major stones and 96 smaller ones.

“The end-buyer will likely be an ultra-ultra high-nett-worth diamond collector,” said Martin Potts, a London-based mining analyst at FinnCap Ltd. “There will be huge prestige in owning the largest diamond that’s not part of a royal collection.”
