This large 1080 carat type IIa rock ranks among only 1 to 2% of rare diamond types. These gems are known to have no measurable nitrogen or boron impurity (chemical element), are often colorless and of very high quality. Experts say that there may be more of this size, but they are often broken into smaller pieces during the recovery process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over time, improvements in the technology used for excavations have changed. Lucara Diamond\u2019s latest discovery <strong>was recovered by the XRT unit<\/strong>, an X-ray technology designed to prevent stones from breaking during extraction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More than a market, in Botswana the diamond has become a real economy, which <strong>makes the country live and helps the inhabitants<\/strong>. Diamonds were first discovered in southern Africa in the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From 1960 to 1980, the country had the fastest growing economy in the world, mainly through mining. Botswana is the world\u2019s second-largest diamond producer behind Russia and ahead of Canada and Australia, and now has the<strong> highest GDP per capita in continental Africa. Diamond mining accounts for 40% of its GSP and 90% of its exports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The inhabitants benefit from these natural diamond recoveries in a unique way. Every child in Botswana has a guaranteed free primary and secondary education, and contributions to environmental protection help preserve its wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The sale of the new diamond <strong>could contribute to the further development of the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read also &gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/en\/botswana-lucara-diamond-mine-extension-delayed-by-two-years\/\">Botswana: Lucara diamond mine extension delayed by two years<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"thb-post-title-bottom thb-post-share-style3\">\n<div class=\"thb-post-title-inline-author\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thb-post-title-bottom thb-post-share-style3\">\n<div class=\"thb-post-title-inline-author\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thb-post-title-bottom thb-post-share-style3\">\n<div class=\"thb-post-title-inline-author\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Featured photo : \u00a9Press[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row njt-role=&#8221;not-logged-in&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Lucara Diamond, a leading independent diamond producer, announced a few days ago that it had discovered a massive 1080-carat diamond found at its Karowe diamond mine in Botswana.<\/h4>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As <strong>Lucara Diamond,<\/strong> a Canadian diamond company, <a href=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/en\/botswana-lucara-diamond-mine-extension-delayed-by-two-years\/\">expands its mine in Botswana<\/a>, it has just made an incredible discovery.
