At the end of November, Lucara Diamond Corp. organized a contest to name two of its recently recovered diamonds: a 2.488ct. one and a 1.094ct. one.
More than 39.000 Botswana citizens participated in said contest to win the prize money of 100.00 BWP and 50.000 BWP respectively. The larger diamond received the name ‘Motswedi’, meaning ‘water spring’ in the local language Setswana. This diamond was recovered in August of this year in the Karowe mine in Botswana.
The second stone was found in September 2024 and is called ‘Seriti’, meaning ‘aura’ or ‘presence’ in Setswana. The name has deep cultural significance related to identity and legacy.
The company is still looking at different sales options for both diamonds.
