Lucapa Diamond Company has recovered three more special diamonds from its Lulo mine in Angola, with two of them being two high-colour white Type II-a diamond, weighing 88 carats and 30 carats respectively.

The Company said that this takes the number of large diamonds of over 10.8 carats recovered from Lulo to 13, all recovered from the E46 area where trial mining commenced in March. Two of these stones weight more than 50 carats, the Company said, adding that over 30% of the diamonds weighing more than 1 carat found at E46 are Type II-a diamonds.

Lucapa also said that its most recent recoveries also included an intense-fancy 0.2-carat pink diamond.
