On the four-day visit, King Letsie will get an exclusive tour behind the scenes of the Antwerp diamond square mile, including a visit to the HRD diamond lab, Diamond Office, Gem Diamonds and the Antwerp Diamond Tender Facility, where this week First Element tendered goods from the Lesotho Liqhobong Mine. In addition, the Royal delegation will be visiting the Antwerp Fashion Museum and Bruges.
The Letseng Mine, Lesotho’s biggest diamond mine, produced four out of the 20 largest white diamonds ever, including the one in 2006 discovered ‘Lesotho Promise’, the largest diamond mined in this century. Lesotho diamonds are known for their exceptional quality, and majority of them have been polished in Antwerp.
