Alrosa, the world’s leading diamond-mining company by volume, sold $361 million-worth of rough diamonds and $12 million-worth of polished gems in February, according to a report just published.
Its sales of rough diamonds rose by 5.5 percent compared to the same period a year ago, while sales of polished diamonds grew threefold against those recorded in February 2020.
However, its total diamond sales dropped by 16 percent from the previous month, when the state-owned company sold $430 million-worth of rough and polished diamonds.
