Russian mining giant Alrosa recovered two rough diamonds last month from the Yubileynaya pipe at Aikhal Mining and Processing Division.
Both stones, 97.92 carats (photo 1) and 85.62 (photo 2) carats, are transparent yellow-hue crystals respectively measuring 26 x 17 x 21mm and 27.89 x 27.20 x 27.14mm.
Evgeny Agureev, Director of the USO Alrosa, said: "We are happy to announce the new finds. Large stones over 50 carats are very rare. Such diamonds are traditionally sold at auctions where they are in good demand. Alrosa manufactures the rarest and clearest diamonds at its cutting division, Diamonds Alrosa, and sells them on itself." (Photo courtesy: Idex)
