South Africa\u2019s Petra Diamonds (LON:PDL) has\u00a0found yet another big rock\u00a0at its iconic Cullinan mine<\/a>, the third coloured diamond over 100 carats since March that has been unearthed at that operation.<\/p>\n

It’s is the third Type II D-colour gem-quality diamond weighing more than 100 carats recovered since March.<\/q><\/p>\n

The 209.9 carat, D colour, Type II gem-quality diamond is also the fourth such stone discovered by Petra so far this financial year.<\/p>\n

It follows last month\u2019s recovery of a 100.83 carat gem-quality diamond<\/a>\u00a0and a previous 6.12 carat Type II blue stone both found at Cullinan.<\/p>\n

The company, which recently appointed former gold miner Richard Duffy as chief executive, said the stone would be included in its upcoming sales cycle, along with a 425 carats D-colour Type IIA diamond recovered on March 29.<\/p>\n

Petra has been seeking to turn around its fortunes\u00a0after piling up debt<\/a>\u00a0to expand Cullinan, which yielded the world\u2019s biggest-ever diamond in 1905.<\/p>\n

Shares in the company jumped on the news and were trading up 4.5% in London at 17.92p by 3:08 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n
