REHOVOT, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LUSIX, a prime grower of lab-grown diamonds (LGDs), today unveiled its Sun Grown DiamondsTM, revealing that its entire diamond growing operation is now 100% solar powered. LUSIX is the world’s first producer of 100% solar powered lab-grown diamonds.
LUSIX announced that the entire Company, including all its diamond growing operations, is fully powered by a dedicated 30-megawatt solar farm situated in southern Israel, ensuring that all LUSIX’s energy consumption is 100% accounted for by solar power.
