(IDEX Online News) – Southern and Central African miner Petra Diamonds Limited announced that it has recovered a 138.57-carat Type IIa, D-color diamond at its Cullinan Mine in South Africa.

 

The stone is a Type II diamond of exceptional color and clarity, and is another high quality diamond from the Cullinan mine, from which a 121.26-carat was recovered in June and which has also produced stones such as the 12.03-carat Blue Moon Diamond.

 

The diamond will be offered for sale as part of Petra’s next sales process in late August in Johannesburg.
