This week, Lucara announced its Q2 2026 results, reporting revenues of $41.0 million, a 6% decrease from the previous year. This decline was due to lower carats sold and a decrease in the average dollar-per-carat for smaller stones. The company also reported the recovery of notable diamonds from its Karowe Mine, including a 36.92 carat blue diamond, highlighting the mine's potential. However, the overall drop in revenue may overshadow these positive operational highlights.
