RANKED: Top 20 automakers by EV battery metal spending
Value of the graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt and magnesium contained in EV batteries is up 38% from the lows struck in January.
Russia’s Alrosa (MCX:ALRS), the world’s top diamond producer by output in carats, said Wednesday it has recovered a 214.65-carat rough diamond from its Nyurbinskoye placer deposit.
The crystal measures 42.11 by 34.26 by 16.07 mm, and is translucent with a grey hue, Alrosa said.
Traces of dissolution – tetragonal cavities, etching channels and caverns – are observed on the surface.
The Nyurbinskoye deposit is located close to the Nyurbinskaya pipe primary deposit, a known source of big diamonds, which is run by the Nyurba Mining and Processing Division, one of Alrosa’s youngest units.
Russia’s government completed this week the sale of a 10.9% stake in the diamond miner. It was the biggest divestment of a state asset since the government reduced its stake in the diamond producer almost three years ago.

Don’t tell the wife, she’ll want one.

If that diamond was cut and faceted, it would be worth millions.
