23.16ct Pink diamond recovered in Tanzania

06.12.15

A 23.16ct pink diamond has been recovered by Petra diamonds from the Williamson mine in Tanzania.

This pink stone of "exceptional colour and clarity" is the most significant recovery by Petra from the mine to date. 

"Pink diamonds are only found in a handful of mines throughout the world and their rarity ensures that they are one of the most highly coveted of all the fancy colours," the company said in a statement.

The diamond will now be offered for sale by appointment in Antwerp in December.
