The 'Lesotho Pink Storm' , a Type IIa 36.06ct pink diamond will be put up for auction by Fusion/Hennig Tenders. The diamond was recently recovered by Storm Mountain Diamonds (Namakwa Group of Mines) at their KAO Mine in Lesotho and is said to have exquisite gemological characteristics.

The diamond has been proudly named the 'Lesotho Pink Storm' by Storm Mountain Diamonds. It will be tendered by Fusion/Hennig Tenders this month and available for viewing in New York from 17–21 January. It will then tour Antwerp to be offered at Tender together with other exceptional diamonds from the KAO mine production.

Fusion Tenders CEO Adam Schulman mentioned about the Lesotho Pink Storm that, " It is not often that a rare diamond of such significant size, colour and quality are found together in the one stone. This is a unique opportunity for someone to own a very special diamond."

Mitford Mundell, CEO of Namakwa Diamonds Group and Chairman of Storm Mountain Diamonds commented: “We are proud of the quality of current production. Improvement initiatives that are in the pipeline will further ensure sustainable, quality production from KAO mine for a long time.”
