JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Russian diamond miner Alrosa sold $559.5-million worth of rough and polished diamonds in March, an increase on February’s sales of $541.9-million, despite a slight seasonal cooling off in demand during the month.

Deputy CEO Yury Okoemov said in a statement that auctions of diamonds larger than 10.8 ct had resulted in the higher month-on-month performance in the month under review.
