LONDON (Alliance News) - Petra Diamonds Ltd Friday said it has sold the "exceptional" 232.08 carat white diamond recovered at the Cullinan mine in South Africa in September for USD15.2 million.
Petra Diamonds sold the stone to Diacore, a company with manufacturing facilities in Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and New York.
The company's latest diamond sale follows last month's sale of a 122.52 carat blue diamond recovered in June for a value equivalent to USD27.6 million.
Petra Diamonds shares were Friday quoted up 1.0% at 179.60 pence.
