LUANDA, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Seven exceptional diamonds, including a rare 170-carat stone "Lulo Rose", will be set for international tender on Nov. 15 in Angola's capital Luanda, according to a statement released on the Lucapa Diamond Company's website on Monday.

The tender will be conducted by Angolan state-owned diamond trading firm Sodiam and will feature seven diamonds discovered by Sociedade Mineira Do Lulo in 2022, with four of them weighing more than 100 carats, said the statement.

The 170-carat pink diamond from Lulo alluvial mining is believed to be the biggest pink diamond extracted in Angola in the last 300 years.
