Petra recovers 23-carat pink diamond
Petra Diamonds has announced the recovery of a 23.16-carat pink diamond from its Williamson mine in Tanzania.
The pink diamond is described as having “exceptional colour and clarity” and is an example of the high-quality pink diamonds for which Williamson is known. Petra said it is its “most significant” recovery from the mine to date.
A statement from the company said: “Pink diamonds are only found in a handful of mines throughout the world and their rarity ensures that they are one of the most highly coveted of all the fancy colours.”
