According to the miner, this latest find “further demonstrates the prevalence of these types of stones in the Cullinan orebody as well as the ability of the mine’s plant to recover the full spectrum of diamonds”. The 425.10-carat stone is expected to be sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
