Lesedi Larona attracts P330m offer

According to Lucara CEO William Lamb, E-mails are streaming in from collectors wanting to buy the stone, the second-largest gem quality diamond ever found. That will mean quite the payday for Vancouver-based Lucara Diamond Corp., which mined the gem at Karowe Mine near Orapa.

“There have been offers as high as $30 million. We will take the stone on a road show. The details around the road show are very secret because it is potentially the highest value item on the planet,” Lamb said in an interview with CBC’s The Exchange.
