Lucara names its epic 2,488 ct diamond ‘Motswedi’ and 1,094 ct diamond ‘Seriti’

Lucara Diamond Corp has announced the winning name for the epic diamonds recovered in September 2024. The 2,488-carat diamond has been named Motswedi, in the local language in Botswana, which means a water spring or the flow of underground water that emerges to the surface offering life and vitality. The 1,094-carat diamond has been named Seriti, which means aura or presence in Setswana and has deep cultural significance related to identity and legacy.

William Lamb, Lucara’s President and CEO, commented, “We are incredibly proud to announce the naming of two extraordinary diamonds recovered from our Karowe Mine in Botswana.  These diamonds are not just geological phenomena; they are a testament to the incredible potential of the Karowe Mine and Lucara’s innovative approach to diamond recovery. Each stone tells a story millions of years in the making, and we are humbled to be the custodians of these remarkable gems as they prepare to enter the global market. We look forward to the next stages of their journey, confident that the Motswedi and Seriti will continue to inspire wonder and admiration around the world.”
