Lucara Diamond Corp. has christened its 1758-carat stone ‘Sewelô.’ The name, which translates to ‘rare find’ in Setswana, was selected from more than 22,000 submissions in a contest open to all citizens of Botswana.
A 223-carat white diamond has been found at Lucara Diamond’s Karowe mine in Botswana, marking the third gem larger than 100-carats uncovered at the site this year.
Vancouver-based Lucara Diamond is making plans for 2019. The company has released its operating guidance for the year, announcing a revenue forecast of $170 to $200 million.
