(IDEX Online) - Namakwa Diamonds is to sell another exceptional fancy pink diamond recovered from its Kao mine, in Lesotho.
The 25.97-ct rough stone (pictured), named Pink Dawn, comes from the same geological domain as several other significant fancy-color stones - the 36.06-ct Pink Storm (sold in 2014) the 3.06-ct Purple Princess (2017) and the 29.59-ct Rose of Kao (2018).
The Pink Dawn, recovered last October, will be shown and tendered in Antwerp with Bonas Group during Kao's first sale of the year. The closing date for online bids is 4 February.
Namakwa owns and operates the Kao mine through its subsidiary, Storm Mountain Diamonds (SMD).
The kimberlite pipe at Kao is the largest in Lesotho and the fourth largest in Southern Africa. SMD is jointly owned by Namakwa Diamonds Limited and the Lesotho Government.
