(IDEX Online) - A diamond weighing 50.36 cts has been recovered as work continues behind closed doors at the Grib mine, in Archangelsk, northern Russia.

Owners AGD Diamonds say the transparent, regular-shaped, jewelry-grade stone was found during lockdown on 13 April.

"The exclusive jewelry grade diamond became the second large diamond mined by company's specialists this year," it told the government-run news agency Tass.

"Planned activities continue, although all international diamond exchanges are closed."
