“This was the biggest diamond found at Asia’s single mechanised diamond mines in Panna operated by the NMDC yesterday,” Panna NMDC Project Manager C E Kindo said today.
He said the diamond found at Majwaha area in Panna was very clean and it may fetch them handsome money.
Kindo said the NMDC had earlier found 32 carat diamond in the Panna mine. It was sold for Rs 95 lakh in an auction.
“That 32 carat diamond was not so clean as this one,” he said.
