Brazil Minerals to Sell Diamonds Via Rapaport Auctions

Brazil Minerals Inc. (OTCMKTS:BMIX) announced that it’s submitted two polished diamonds to Rapaport Auctions’ ongoing single-stone auction sale. Rapaport Auctions is a division of Rapaport Group.
As quoted in the press release:

Both gems submitted were mined at BMIX’s properties, cut and polished in Brazil, then exported to the U.S. and graded and certificated at a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) analytical laboratory. BMIX could have sold the gems in Brazil to a jewelry chain without the need for certification, or to private buyers in the U.S. The Company chose to utilize Rapaport Auctions as an initial test of a new potential sales channel, since Rapaport has over 13,000 registered clients and provides sellers with exposure to their gems at one or more major diamond centers — U.S., Israel and Hong Kong.
Besides placing polished diamonds at auction, BMIX and Rapaport have ongoing discussions for further collaboration regarding rough diamonds.
