A Big Diamond, a Little History, and Some Geology

Lucara Diamond Corp's photo: 'Lucara Recovers Epic 2,492 Carat Diamond From the Karowe Mine'. (August 21, 2024)

I take commercial puffery with a grain of salt, but that 2,492 carat diamond from the Karowe mine does seem "epic".

It's also what I'll be talking about this week: along with the Karowe mine, Botswana, what diamonds are and where they come from, and why I see Botswana's recent history as a success story. Of sorts.
