British-based company Gem Diamonds has operations in the Mountain Kingdom. It runs the Letaeng Diamond Mine.
The 910-carat gem diamond is the largest discovered at the mine since 2006 when the 603-carat Lesotho Promise was dug up.
Reuters is reporting that the company's shares have risen more than 10% on the news.
The company said the diamond was the largest found at the Letseng mine in the southern African kingdom of Lesotho.
The
diamond belongs to a category that represents less than 1% of all mined
diamonds in the world and is more valuable as it is colourless, the
diamond miner said.
