According to RT news agency, Anabar Diamonds - a subsidiary of Alrosa group, has just discovered a 390.7 carat diamond during sand washing at a diamond mine in Anabar district, Sakha Republic (also known as Yakutia) in Russia on the night of September 9. The diamond was found while washing diamond-containing sand at night.
The photo released by Alrosa shows the diamond has an unusual asymmetrical shape and a golden-brown hue. This is considered a very unique combination of color and shape.
“Experts have not yet studied the diamond in detail and assessed its potential and characteristics. But there is no doubt that this is a record for our company and the Russian diamond industry,” RT news agency quoted Pavel Marinychev, General Director of Alrosa.
Mr Marinychev also said the diamond find was a great milestone as the company's 2023 mining season comes to a close.
Previously, in 2013, Alrosa also mined a 401-carat diamond.
According to RT news agency, at the same mine in Yakutia, Anabar Diamonds also discovered another diamond measuring 37.7 carats, with a classic octahedral shape. Both diamonds have been sent for expert evaluation.
Alrosa is the world's largest diamond producer, accounting for 30% of the $80 billion annual global trade in rough gemstones.
