"We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond," said Lucara president and CEO William Lamb, highlighting the excitement surrounding this significant find.
The weight would make it the largest diamond found in more than 100 years and the second-largest ever dug out of a mine after the Cullinan Diamond discovered in South Africa in 1905.
Botswana's government announced that this diamond is the largest ever found in the country, which has a history of producing the world's biggest stones from its mines.
The newly discovered diamond will be presented to the world at the office of Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi, marking a notable moment for the nation.
