Diamond sales grew due to higher prices despite a 6 percent drop in the volume of diamonds sold to 104,405 carats.

The company stated that the average value of its rough diamonds increased 56 percent to $675 per carat. All of Lucara’s diamonds came from Karowe mine in Botswana, which is the company’s sole producing mine.
