Hiki i Lesotho , kahi iʻoi aku iʻekolu kapuaʻi, ua nānā ponoʻia ka mine Lonseng diamond me aʻu wale nō i kaʻoi aku o ke kuahiwi kiʻekiʻe loa i ka honua, akāʻo kekahi o nā mines "momona" loa -ʻo ia ke hoʻomau mau i nā pōhaku nui iʻike i ka nui, iʻemaʻe a me ka lau.
Aia kekahi moku ma kahi kokoke i ke kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi o Mokotlong . Ua lōʻihi kaʻu hana ma kaʻu hana, akā, ua palauale no kekahi manawa. No laila, ua paniʻia no kekahi mau makahiki, a ma hope o ka makahiki 2004, ua hoʻoholoʻia e hoʻi hou i ke kaula kila.
ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai,ʻo Gem Diamond Corporation ka mea nona ka hale, nāna i hoʻopau i ka laweʻana i nā mea nani - no keʻano kūikawā e pili ana i ka hana, ua lilo ka mine i ke koina nui ma diamona ma Lesotho.
Kahi pōhaku nui
Hoʻonuiʻiaʻo Letseng me nā pōhaku nui. E hoʻomaopopo i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, 20 mau kaula nui nui i hoʻopiliʻia ma ka honua a puni - a heʻehā o lākou i loaʻa ma ka mine o Lesotho.
Eia kekahi laʻana, i ke kauwela o 2006 uaʻikeʻia he diamond me kahi kaumaha o 603 carats maʻaneʻi, i kapaʻiaʻo "Hope Lesotho". ʻO ka pōhaku i kūʻaiʻia he $ 12.5 miliona.
I kekahi makahiki ma hope aku, i ka mahinaʻo Kepakemapa 2007, ua loaʻa kekahi diamond nui ma luna o ka mine,ʻo kona kaumaha heʻaneʻane 500 mau carats. ʻO ka pōhaku, i kapaʻiaʻo "Legacy of Letsseng," i kūʻaiʻia no kahi kokoke $ 10.5 miliona.
Ma hope o 12 mahina, i ka lāʻo Kepakemapa 2008, ua hāʻawi mai ka mine i ke diamona he 478 carats - kahi papa mua, pōhaku maʻaʻole. ʻO ka hopena o kona inoa - ua kapaʻia ka diamona i kapaʻiaʻo "Light Letseng", a he 18.5 miliona ka nui o ka waiwai.
IʻAukake 2011 ua hauʻoli koʻuʻoliʻoli i kekahi pōhaku nui 550-carat nui i kapaʻiaʻo "Letseng Star". Ma muli o kēia inoa, makemake nā haku o kaʻu wahine e hoʻokūkino i ka'enekani maoli o kaʻu mele i nā pōhaku nui a maikaʻi loa. I kēlā manawa, ua lilo ka diamond "Star Letsenga" i lilo:
- ʻO ka lua nui loa i waena o nā mea a pau i loaʻa nā taimana keʻokeʻo i loko o ka mom;
- aia kaʻumikumamāhā o ka honua i ka nui ma waena o nā pōhaku a pau iʻikeʻia.
Ma ke alanui, ua hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻia ka pōhaku ma kekahi o nā labo laboratories ma Belgique ma o ka waikahe kūikawā, kahi i wehe ai i nāʻano haumiaʻole, e like me ka kimberlite, i hōʻiliʻiliʻia ma ka ili o ka pōhaku, me ka hanaʻole i ka diamona.
Aʻaʻole e hiki i kekahi ke haʻi aku i kekahi pōhaku keʻokeʻo i loaʻa iāʻAukake 2006 (ma ke ala,ʻike lākou i keʻano maʻamau - ua loaʻa nā kini nui i ka Letseng aʻu iʻAukake a Sepatemaba?). ʻO kāna kaumaha he 196 karat wale nō (e like me nā pōhaku i hōʻikeʻia ma luna nei), akā ua lilo ia i pōhaku momona nui loa i hanaʻia ma ka honua i ka makahiki 2006. Eia hou, ua hahauʻo ia i kona mauʻano:
- maikaʻi;
- ka hohonu o ka lau.
Hōʻike kālā
He mea kaulana, akā,ʻoiai ua hala ka wā lōʻihi o ka hanaʻana i nā taimana ma Letseng, ua hoʻonui waleʻia ka manaʻo o nā dālā o kaʻu. No laila, inā he 1.38 miliona mau mīka ke kumumakahi mua, a laila ma hope mai ua hoʻonuiʻia ka wanana ma o 50% - a 2.26 miliona carats. Ua piʻi pūʻia ka wanana o ka nui o ka pōhaku i loaʻa nā kaula.
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
Pono muaʻoe e lele i ke kapikala o Lesotho ma Maseru - kahi e holo mai Moscow mai ka nui o nā hola he 16. Pono mākou e hana iʻelua transplants - kekahi o lākou ma'Europa ('Istanbul, Lādana, Paris, a me Frankfurt am Main - e like me ka hoʻokele i kohoʻia),ʻo ka lua o ka moku ma Johannesburg.
A laila, ponoʻoe e hele i Mokotlonga. Ma ke ala, i loko o kēiaʻehiku kaukani'ākau he kaʻaahi. No laila, hiki ke holo hou. Mai Mokotlong i ka mine - 70 mau kilomita. E hoʻokahuliʻia lākou ma alanui.
